A:AnswerYes. Make a Time Machine backup of your old system, let it finish. Double check its size by then going on the external drive you made the backup onto and go into the folder “backups” find the backup you just did by sorting the finder window by date if needed. Right click on it and select get info. The box that comes up will tell you its exact size. If it is under 242 gigs. You are good to go.
A:AnswerNo. Some have gutted their old iMac and installed a monitor controller board inside to use its screen as a monitor but economically and picture wise, you can buy a better monitor without the hassle and near same cost.
A:AnswerWHY would be my question. Monitors have progressed since then. Pick up a 27” Samsung and get a much better experience. Your wireless keyboard and mouse will work. All you technically will need is a camera but you (with the newer OS) will be able to use camera continuity and use your iPhone.

A:AnswerGet the mini Mac. Get an inexpensive monitor and enjoy! You can't go wrong. This may not answer your question, but this is a better buy for the money. I bought my monitor $100 with the new mini Mac with the M2 chip
