Projecting to a second display using your Windows 10 computer can help you become more efficient and reduce the amount of time you spend clicking back and forth between documents. It can also be a helpful tool to use when giving presentations.

1. Project to a Second Display
in Windows®
10

2. Projecting to a second display
opens up a world of possibilities.
It allows you to share a
presentation easily or to increase
productivity by decreasing the
time you waste clicking back and
forth between files.

3. You can connect your
computer or device to a
wide variety of displays
such as a second monitor,
a TV, or even a projector.

4. To project your work
to another display, first
connect that display to
your Windows 10 computer
or device through a port
such as VGA, DVI, HDMI, or
Mini DisplayPort.

5. After you connect the second display,
press Windows+P on your keyboard
and then select how you want to
project the image.
There are four options.

6. PC Screen Only
Displays the image on your
main display; it ignores the
second display. This could
be helpful when you do not
want to display your screen
before you are ready.

7. Duplicate
Shows the same image on
both displays. This could be
beneficial when giving a
presentation from your laptop
or other portable device.

8. Extend
Extends the image on the second
display; you can use both displays
like one single desktop. You can
move windows from one display
to the other. This is a great setting
for increasing productivity.

9. Second Screen Only
Displays the image only
on the second display.

10. To bring the image back
to the main display, either
disconnect the second display
or press Windows+P again
and select PC Screen Only.

11. Now that you know how to
project your screen to a second
display, you can save time by
accessing applications quickly
and impress your colleagues
with easily shared presentations.
