LibreELEC is intended for dedicated HTPC devices so Kodi (on LibreELEC) runs full-screen and outputs to the primary display device (whatever that is) and there is no GUI support for running with multiple-monitors (or laptop screen + HDMI output). It can be done from the command line, but that's more advanced. Another option for a laptop could be forcing the display output in the BIOS.
If you want GUI multi-monitor support, use Windows or a conventional distro like Ubuntu.
