As the title suggests, I want to be able to use my laptop monitor as the primary (and only) monitor for my desktop tower. I am fully aware of using a program such as Splashtop 2 as a remote connect, but I can't do that due to the fact that I don't have a monitor for the desktop tower to set it up on. Ideally,II will use an HDMI cable to connect the two. Both computers have HDMI on the motherboards already, so besides setting it up, all I have to do is plug in the cable. I have exhausted all the knowledge I have in getting this done, but I stand here empty handed of desired results. If anyone out there knows how to do this, your sharing of knowledge will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
