Are you talking about something like making the desktop monitor the primary input source for the notebook?
You should be able to connect the cable from the desktop to the notebook. You may need a specialty cable, depending on the model of the notebook and type of monitor.

on the back of the laptop there is a vga connection or should be u can connect a monitor to this, and on the laptop keyboard you will need to use a key combo like Fn+f7 this has a picture of a screen and the video feed will be cut from the main screen to the external monitor.
