Displaylink adapter for Mac

Bhuviraman · 07-16-2017, 11:18 PM

Hi I have a 21inch iMac 2017 and wanted to connect it to my work HP laptop so I could use its screen. Since I already had a DVI cable at home which connected to my laptop I bought the display link USB to DVI adapter and connected both. I can see in the system report that my iMac has registered the display link adapter but I am unable to extend my screen on my iMac. Please excuse my ignorance but is there something obvious that I am missing? Please advise.
