My computer has a video card that supports two monitors. My desk is not big
enough for 2 monitors but I do have a laptop that I could use while I am
using Flight Simulator. Can a laptop's monitor be used as a second monitor?
If so, how?
Thanks in advance.

Indeed it can if networked and you have a graphics card that will do it.
Otherwise, you can invest in Maxivista, which is an excellent and cheap
software solution for just that purpose. I use it for running FSNav on the
laptop while flying with three screens.

Google maxivista for full details.

or network the laptop and use Fsuipc and Widefs to run Flightsim Commander, Teamspeak/messenger, and or other programs on and leave the flight pc for just flying.
