To set up an external monitor with a laptop, you can follow these steps:
1. Connect the external monitor to your laptop using the appropriate cable (HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort, etc.).
2. Make sure the external monitor is powered on.
3. Press the Windows key + P on your keyboard to open the Project menu.
4. Select "Duplicate" to display the same content on both screens, "Extend" to use the external monitor as an additional display, or "Second screen only" to only use the external monitor.
5. Adjust the display settings by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Display settings". Here you can change the resolution, orientation, and other display settings for the external monitor.
These steps may vary slightly depending on your operating system and specific hardware, but they should give you a general idea of how to set up an external monitor with your laptop.
