Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to share screens of two laptops that I have, like one laptop as main screen and the other laptop's screen as the second monitor? But all this wirelessly since I don't have a VGA cable or HDMI cable with me at the moment. Both the laptops are running on Windows 7 pro OS. One is 32 bit and the other one 64 bit. If this is possible could anyone here tell me how to achieve this? 

 

SUB:

 

1) Need to use monitors from both the laptops side by side, wirelessly.

2) Both the laptops are running on Windows 7 OS.

 

Thanks

Ok, the only way to do that wirelessly is by having a "server and a client host" obviously. Now I haven't figured out how to share the screen but basically what I wanted to do was use the same keyboard and mouse for both the laptops. Its easier that way than having to switch back and forth the keyboard and mouse of both the laptops if you're working on both the laptops side by side. 

 

Solution:

 

1) Install Synergy in both the laptops regardless the OS type or version and configure it.

2) This way I can use the same Keyboard and mouse for both the laptops at the same time.

3) I don't have to worry about the files and stuff stored in different laptops cuz its shared through Wi-Fi network. So I can access them in both the laptops whenever I wanted. This is perfect. 

 

I hope this helps to those who were wanting to do the same.

 

Cheers!

Oh, ok. I thought it was possible. I tried the same with my android tab to PC and was able to use my android tab's screen as a second monitor, wirelessly. Thought if its possbile with an Android tab, why not Windows to Windows?
