yes it's possible

 

I made Windows think I had two connected displays like this:

  1. Right click on the desktop, click 'Screen Resolution'
  2. Click 'Detect' on the next screen
  3. Click 'Another display not detected' and under the multiple displays option select 'Try to connect anyway on: VGA'
  4. Click 'Apply'
  5. You can now enable your desktop to be extended as if you have a second screen plugged into your computer.

To view the second screen. This can be done via LogMeIn or TeamViewer on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and I believe Linux:

I used TeamViewer as I already use it, so already have it installed

  1. Opened TeamViewer on iPad
  2. Connect to the computer setup previously
  3. Using a 'Monitor' button at the bottom, select and show screen number 2.
  4. iPad now shows screen 2 from PC.

Probably not in the way you're thinking. I guess you could stream a clone image off of the screen you have over Wi-Fi but given the age of the thing, you'd suffer of intolerable lag. It could have an eDP ribbon cable connecting from the motherboard to the display which you could adapt passively to DP and plug into your GPU. But it's more likely that the ribbon is some proprietary HP thing since it has to carry the data from the digitizer too.
