If your laptop-screen is used for accurate focusing, then really that is the only camera to pc method, but if you can use M.S.Windows "Magnifier" tool,
you can certainly getter a better look at the Sun's limb and then adjust the focus accordingly.

To find the screen "Magnifier" tool, go to the "START" button, then "Search" and type "Screen Magnifier"... Eventually you should find a magnifying-glass tool - appear somewhere on the screen, which gives various options to maximise/minimise etc..

Also of course having the screen as close as is practical to the scope will also make life easier...

Your combined-disk and proms are just about in focus anyway... Just very slightly over-exposed for the disk and/or a little PT tuning-adjust...
