HP Laptop & Mac Mini as a Second Monitor

Hi

I have a MAC Mini (2014) which I would like to use as a second monitor for my HP Spectre Laptop.

I have purchased a few cables but there is no reaction from either machines? First of all is it possible to use my Mac Monitor as a second monitor for my HP Spectre? thanks!

Mac mini, macOS 11.2
