How can i add a all in on pc as an additional monitor for my laptop?

can i use a hp pavilion 20 (all in one pc) as an additional monitor for my laptop? if so, how do i do that because the hp pc only has usb ports and i need the laptop to be the main system (not the all in one pc).

Um no if it dosent have any video inputs you cant. You could open it up and see if there is a video input inside if you are confident with doing that but i doubt it. sorry

Just get an additional monitor wouldnt that be cheaper anyway?

lol ok. I was just avoiding buying a new monitor. The Hp was given as a gift and my Laptop is wayyyy faster than it, therefore, if i were to some way synchronize the hp to my laptop, it wouldnt look bad from the "buyer's prospective". if you get what im saying.
But thanks for the info!

you could try opening it up and seeing if there is an hdmi or dvi connection between the gpu or chipset and the panel but i reckon it il just be hard-wired. If by change there is a connector in there. you might be able to dc the computer part of the all in one and just use it as a monitor. If you get my flow.
