INSPIRON 20 -3043 hdmi input from Inspiron 3647 desktop and touch screen

I have a 3043 touch screen all in one and a 3647 mini tower , I am using the 3043 screen via HDMI cable , I got audio working but want to use the TOUCH function , is this possible ? I have a USB uplink cable with chip in it to transfer files , will this work ? 

What to do ?? \\

Thanks \

So this is your setup?
Inspiron Desktop 3647 HDMI out port --> HDMI to HDMI cable --> Inspiron 20-3043 HDMI in port

And the Inspiron Desktop 3647 windows desktop is now shown on the Inspiron 20-3043 screen. But, touch is only resident in the operating system on the Inspiron 20-3043, not the operating system in the Inspiron Desktop 3647 that is being sent via HDMI. So no, I do not think that touch will operate.

Provide a link to the USB uplink cable with chip in it?

Yes that is the setup , I did read somewhere online that using a usb cable will allow the touch sensing to work , this may be old info ?

here is the cable , I got this for transferring files between the 2 comp.
