Adding a second display to your Windows 10 computer is a great way to boost your productivity. You can either extend your desktop to the new display or duplicate it, so that you have two identical screens. Here’s how to do it:
First, make sure that your computer supports multiple displays. If it’s a laptop, you may need to connect an external display adapter.
Next, connect the additional display to your computer. If it’s an HDMI display, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your computer and to the HDMI port on the display. If it’s a VGA display, connect the VGA cable to the VGA port on your computer and to the VGA port on the display.
Once the display is connected, press the Windows key + P to open the Projection menu. From here, you can select the display you want to use.
If your computer is running Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later, you can also use the new Display Settings page to configure your displays. To open Display Settings, press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app, and then click System. From here, click Display and the Display Settings page will open.
On the Display Settings page, you’ll see a list of all the displays that are connected to your computer. You can use the tabs at the top of the page to configure the display settings for each display.
For example, you can choose to extend your desktop to the new display, or have it show a different desktop. You can also choose to have the windows on one display open on the other display, or have them open side-by-side.
To configure a display, select it from the list and then use the buttons and drop-down menus at the bottom of the page to configure its settings.
Conclusion
