Laptop as Computer Monitor

Hello! I own a laptop and a desktop computer. I used to have a monitor for my Desktop PC but I had to discard it. I was wondering if there was any way to use my laptop as a monitor for my Desktop PC. Just for a short while to retrieve some data from its hardware. I did not try it but doesn`t it simply work by just connecting the two cables? If not maybe there are other solutions. I am asking this because I remember my brother doing this a while ago, but he can not remember how he did it.

Thank you!
