Product: HP All-in-One Computer 21.5" 1080p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My boyfriend got me a gaming PC but I just bought the all in one a couple months ago. He was going to buy me a new monitor but id rather use this one. i plugged the hdmi cord into my new PC and into the back of the all in one and nothing is happening. When I type "HDMI" or "output" in the settings nothing is coming up to switch over.

Your PC's HDMI port is output only.

 

You cannot use your PC's display as a monitor for another device.
