Hi Eric, you have an Intel i7 processor but the feature you're trying to use requires Apple Silicon - an M1, M2, M3, or M4.

Serif wrote this in the description of the feature:

COMPATIBILITY: Sorry but due to the functions we need to run the Object Selection and Subject Selection functionality, the Machine Learning features only available on Apple Silicon iPads and macOS devices (and those need to be running on a recent macOS, as Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey do not support the required calls). Machine Learning will run on both Windows x64 and Arm64 hardware running Windows 10 or Windows 11.

So would buying a better processor help or do I need to upgrade to a better computer?

Hi Eric, you can't change the processor in your iMac. It's unfortunate because you have a fairly new iMac with a gorgeous screen, but to use the machine language features you would need to buy a new computer. Any Mac with an M1, M2, M3, or M4 chip would work. Note that Apple no longer sells a 27" iMac like yours, the current model is only available with a 24" screen. But if you were to upgrade and wanted the same size screen, you could buy a Mac mini with an external monitor.

That's one reason I've never and will never own a Mac. They also are way over priced. If I want to change the processor, RAM, just about anything on my PC I can and have.

You could buy a Mac Mini and convert the old iMac into a monitor or have it converted.

The last millenium has called and wants its childish "Mac vs. PC" debates back.

However, this debate should not take place here, so please stay on topic!

This is only for iMac models older than 10 years, and only with obsolete versions of MacOS.

My linked YouTube video should only serve as an example. There are countless videos describing how to convert iMacs, even newer ones. Of course, you should not do this yourself if you have “two left hands”.

Indeed but I don't know any method that is as easy, cheap and efficient as the old target display mode, described in the links above.
