Using an extended desktop
If your computer supports dual monitors (it must have multiple monitor ports), you can use a
second monitor to roughly double the size of your Windows desktop. You can use the additional
desktop space to accommodate additional windows.
To turn on extended desktop:
1
Right-click any empty space on the desktop, then click Properties. The Display Properties
dialog box opens.
2
Click the Settings tab.
3
Click the second monitor icon (labeled 2), then click Extend my Windows desktop onto
this monitor.
4
Click Apply.
5
You can open windows in your desktop and drag them over to the second monitor.
Using a second monitor
If your computer’s video card supports additional monitors (it must have two video connections),
you can connect an additional monitor or projector to your computer.
To use a projector or additional monitor:
1
Turn off your computer.
2
Plug the projector or monitor cable into the secondary VGA port on your computer. For
the location of the VGA port on your computer, see the poster or Reference Guide.
3
Turn on your computer.
