Use Two Monitors with Windows 8







1. Connect the monitor to your PC. Plug in the power, connect the video cable to a compatible port on the computer, and Windows should immediately detect it and install the required drivers.

2. Bring up the charms bar (Windows key + C).

3. Click on “Devices” followed by “Second screen.”

4. Choose how you want your monitors configured. “PC Screen only” and “Second screen only” turn off the other screen and display Windows on a single monitor only.

5. Selecting “Duplicate” mirrors Windows across both screens while, most interestingly, “Extend” spreads your desktop across both screens. One effect of this is that you can run the new Windows 8 Metro interface alongside the Windows 7 style Desktop.
