I dont believe you can do this without a program, I know some programs that allow you to do so but I havent used it or know other people that have used it so I wouldnt recommend buying them, at least the ones that I know of, hopefully someone else can shed some light on a trusted free program. Since the laptop doesnt support a INcoming connection you cant use it as a primary monitor.
