This is the choice you??™ll usually make. When you select
this option button, Windows displays the Extend Your Desktop controls
in the upper-right corner of the New Display Detected dialog box. Select
the Right option button if the external monitor is positioned to the right
of your laptop; select the Left option button if the external monitor is to
your laptop??™s left.
Show My Desktop On The External Display Only Select this option
button if you want to use the external monitor but not your laptop??™s
screen. This setting is useful if your laptop??™s screen is much smaller than
the external display, or if you??™re connecting an external keyboard and
mouse to your laptop and using it as if it were a desktop PC.
Click the Apply button. Windows applies the settings. If your laptop screen
went fuzzy in step 2, the sharpness should return now if you selected the
Show Different Parts Of My Desktop On Each Display (Extended) option
button.
Click the OK button. Windows closes the New Display Detected dialog box.
Step 5: Tell Windows Where Your Monitors Are
Once you??™ve installed your monitors, make sure that Windows knows how many
monitors there are and where they are positioned relative to each other. Follow these
steps:
Right-click the Desktop and choose Personalize. Windows displays the Personalization
window.
Click the Display Settings link near the bottom of the window.
