If I have two laptops, can I extend my display from the first one to the second one? Kindly note that I do not have a monitor, and both the laptops are equipped with HDMI out ports.
Is there any way to work this around?

Use Windows 10 Wireless Display
You can't use VGA cables or HDMI cable to connect a desktop to a laptop and use it as a second monitor as the VGA and HDMI ports on laptops are for video out but not for video in. However, you can use Windows 10 wireless displays.
Like This:
- On the machine you want to use as a 2nd monitor, go to
Settings > System > Projecting to this PCthen set it up. - Now, from your main machine that you are projecting from press Windows Key+P as if you are projecting to a projector or second display.
- Now hit "Connect to a Wireless Display".
The downside to this is you can sometimes have a lag, depending on the data speeds you have, but it's a good solution nevertheless.
If you don’t have another monitor, but do have a separate laptop, you’re in good hands. It is extremely easy to create your own multi-monitor setup without cables, using your home network, with a host of tools to help you get the job done. Let’s take a look!
