How to adjust your multi-monitor setup inside Windows

How to adjust your multi-monitor setup inside Windows

  1. Navigate to your desktop
  2. Right click and on the drop down select "Display Settings"
  3. From here it will pull up a page showing the monitors and settings for them

  5. The box showing 1, would be your laptop or desktop screen. Any others will be your additional monitors and can be clicked and dragged to where they are according to your physical setup
  6. If you want to extend your display instead of duplicating it, you can click this box in the bottom right

  8. Clicking on this box will give you a couple options, duplicate each display, extend, or disconnect them
    1. Duplicate will do just that, it will duplicate the selected displays to each monitor
    2. Extending them will give each monitor its own windows
    3. Disconnect will disconnect the selected display
  9. Moving down the page you'll see more options:

    1. The most important setting you'll see here is scale and orientation
    2. Scale is the size of text and apps on your screen
    3. Orientation is the direction of your monitors.
    4. Make sure to first click on the monitor you want to make these changes to on the section that shows all of your displays
  11. After this you should be set! If you have more issues feel free to contact us at helpdesk@allthingsvault.com
