Using a HDMI cable can you use the screen on a desktop as a second screen for a laptop?

That depends on some terms meaning what is actually the equipment.  A "desktop" PC means more than one thing nowadays.  The All in Ones (AIO) are referred to as a "desktop" (one definition) and a desktop with a monitor is also referred to as a desktop.  A desktop with a separate monitor - the monitor can be used as second screen for the laptop as long as it is not being used by the desktop PC.

If the "desktop" is a AIO - then some can enable the screen to be used by a second device while others cannot.  That depends on the design of the AIO.  Please post the model number of the AIO.
