Can my 1366 X 768 screen work fine if i bought 1920ْ X 1080 screen and use it as a second screen for my laptop?

i wonder if my screen can work properly because of different resolution capacities, i am not sure if both of them would work properly, i am planning to buy a FHD screen to use a second screen

The only problem you'll have is if you want to mirror the same image on both screens, in which case you'll be limited to the lowest resolution (1366*768 in this case). Otherwise, they're independent.

@Elessar yes this is the answer i want, so you mean if i just depend on the FHD screen alone i will not face any problem??

@saher090 No problems at all. I'm currently using a 2K one with the laptops' main FHD one turned off.

@Elessar Thank you for informing me, good point

I run that configuration all the time

I do not like how it works ... but I do run it all the time

@questionWeaver are both screen retain their own resolutions while working together or one of them will adjust its resolution for the other??

questionWeaver

@saher090 it depends on your drivers, how you are extending, font size and it they are native to those resolutions.

I have 3 setups, each works differently

One setup burdens the second CPU with a lot of graphics overhead.

Can assure you it will work

Unknown how happy with it you will be

@questionWeaver my graphic card supports up to 2560x1600 at 60 Hz so i am sure i have no problem with this part

Totally fine. You can have different resolutions and mirror or expand. Windows doesn't give a fuck and neither do most Unix distros.
