Cannibalize MacBook-Pro-Mid-2014 and iMac-2010

I have an iMac-2010 27" which is super slow as it has hard disk. Also, I have a MacBook Pr0 Mid 2014 that my company gave to me and is an extra computer. Is it possible to replace iMac's motherboard with that of MacBook Pro 2014 and still use the big screen and speakers ?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.12

Hi,

You can't replace iMac logic board to MacBook Pro, though you can use iMac as external monitor for MacBook Pro with connect each other via mini display port, it's called Target Display Mode, if your iMac is 27inch.

Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support
