How to Use Laptop as a Second Monitor on Windows 10/11

Can I use a laptop as a monitor? Yes, you can use your laptop to extend a desktop’s display or act as an external monitor. In this guide, you'll learn how to turn your laptop into a monitor or second screen. The easiest option to connect a PC to a laptop screen is by using Windows's built-in Wireless Display feature. This way you won’t need any cables or connectors like HDMI, VGA, DVI, or DisplayPort.
Note: If your primary monitor has been damaged, and you are wondering how to use the laptop as a monitor. Then, it is simply not possible. Because you will still need a temporary monitor for your desktop for the initial setup.

Wait nevermind, for windows 10 you need to go back to settings, for the project pc part, and it will give an app link that says "launch connect app to project to this pc"
