I have a Raspberry Pi 3b+. When I hook it up to my TV, which has HDMI input, it automatically boots up the pi and show the raspbian window. Although, when I connect it to my Laptop via HDMI there is no change in the display. So why does this happen and is there any way to get over this?

Most laptop hdmi ports are output not input. They are designed to connect a laptop to a monitor.

There are a few that have hdmi input.

You could use VNC Viewer on your laptop to view the Pi screen (by enabling VNC in Pi Configuration) over wifi/network.
