Hello, I am trying to use my laptop (windows 11) as a 2nd monitor for my pc (windows 10).

Each time I try to wirelessly connect, it gives me that message on my laptop. I have tried the firewall solutions, yet it didn't work. One problem could've been that I can't find the "Connect" option on my "Allow an app through Windows Firewall" application. If anyone could help, I would be so very happy.

    You haven't explained what 'protected content' you have. That term typically applies to commercial music or video that you've purchased. If so, here's a rude awakening: You don't really own it in the conventional meaning. You only own the right to play it, and that right is often restricted to a single device (though not always.) If you're using a laptop as a second monitor, the laptop is another device, therefore the message.
