Hi and welcome to the forum.
So - you are trying to use your laptops HDMI connector as an Input? That wont work - both the Pi and the laptops HDMI port are Output ports.
You'll need to connect the Pi to a monitor if you want to use the HDMI port.

Welcome, as above stated clearly the HDMi on the Laptop is OUTPUT ONLY.


If you have installed Raspbian Jessie with Pixel you can use RealVNC to remote access from the Windows 10 Laptop:

You cannot use it directly - only with remote access. Probably the most simple solution is to use TV as Pi display.
