Apple Sidecar functionality appears to require that both the Mac and iPad are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID. If you cannot meet this system and software requirement, you’ll be unable to use Sidecar.

If you are unable use Sidecar, perhaps one of the available third-party alternatives may be more suited to your needs. Perhaps consider Duet - which can be used to extend a Windows PC or Mac display to an iPad via a wired or wireless connection:
