I am assuming your TV is already hooked up to something and only has one HDMI out. You can use a HDMI switch. I till allow the TV to plug into the switch, and then you hook up the laptop to the switch. You would then use the switch to select the input.

So my TV has 4 4K HDR HDMI Inputs and my PC has only one HDMI HD Inputs ? Does HDMI Input to HDMI Input works ?

I think there's confusion.
Your TV probably has 4 HDMI *inputs*, not outputs. Try it out. Plug in an HDMI from your computer into the TV then switch to the source on the TV and see if it displays. It should work.
Just know that if you want to display a 4K HDR output to the TV, the HDMI cable must be HDMI 2.0b compatible, otherwise it will cause stutter. 2.0b was released in 2016.

You are just going to take a HDMI cable and run it from the TV HDMI port and run it to the Laptop HDMI port. You will then change the input on the TV to the correct input. When you start the laptop you may also need to go into windows display settings to activate the second display and you will be good to go.

Some AIOs actually have an HDMI "input" and no "output".... essentially, so it can be used as a monitor once it's usable lifespan is up.
I actually saw an HP like this the other day.
If this is the case with this one (haven't heard of an Acer with it though), the port itself will be labelled clearly with an "in".
If that isn't the case, then the HDMI port is a standard "out" and can connect to your TV's "in"
