I don't know which Chromebox model you have, but all models have the HDMI port to connect an Acer laptop to its HDMI port as that is the simplest and quickest way to do connect an external monitor to a laptop, so try that.

i want to use chromebox as software and the laptop as primary monitor

That won't work, though you should be able to use remote control software to display the Chromebox screen on a laptop. I don't expect it'll be easy to use the laptop as an extended display through remote control software…
