Windows 10: How to connect notebook to laptop as second screen?

I have two computers, I would like to be able to use one as my main device and use the second as an additional screen. I have a plug in monitor that works fine for this but the notebook is smaller and more portable. What I would like if to be able to do is, for example, open a file folder on my main device and seamlessly drag it off screen, to have it then appear on my second device, the same as you would expect from an attached monitor.

Is this possible? I am happy to do the groundwork like downloading additional software or following step by step guides etc. I did a Google search but nothing came up so I'm here to ask reddit before I give up on the idea completely.

Thanks in advance.

Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd
