can we connect laptop screen to another laptop

Your answer is: REMOTE DESKTOP

1. Use an external monitor for the initial setup.

2. Connect both laptops on the same subnet.

3. Configure a remote desktop session between the laptops.

4. I don't know how, but there should be some way to have the laptop with the broken screen start up, and be ready for a remote login without user intervention.
