The Four Display Modes & How To Access Them
- PC Screen Only
- Duplicate
- Extend
- Second Screen Only
You can access this function by clicking on Windows + P.
It is a bit small but as you can see, when I clicked on the Windows Button and the P at the same time a green pop-up box appears and list's the 4 options.
PC Screen Only
Only the primary screen is used
Duplicate
The second monitor shows a duplicate of the primary screen
Extend
Both monitors combine to offer an extended desktop (this is the option we are looking for)
Second Screen Only
Only the second monitor is used

When I got a new laptop, I added the old monitor and it's been amazing! I can't believe how I functioned without it! I love having a second monitor! Great training! Alanna

Thank you Alana, that is exactly what I did. I went from a pc to a laptop so I already had the monitor and the cable. It sat downstairs on a shelf for a long time until my husband mentioned me using dual displays. It has been great!
Thank you for the compliant about the training. I truly appreciate it.
