How do I know if my laptop can run an external monitor as well as it's own screen
I try to run a presentation with powerpoint and want to know how to connect an external monitor. my laptop equipped with a port for it, but do not seem to recognize a screen when I try
Almost all laptops have this ability. As a general rule, you must press the Fn key and one of the F keys to switch between the display of the computer laptop (1) use, (2) use the external screen, (3) use both. See the User Guide for your laptop for more details.
In addition to telling the hardware of the laptop to send a signal to the screen external, you can probably configure which displayed on the external monitor (a copy of the laptop screen) or an extension of it by right clicking on an empty area of the desktop, select properties and then click the settings tab.
Finally, some applications (such as Powerpoint) have their own internal settings. This is for Powerpoint 2003--> http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/presenter-view-tools-for-running-a-powerpoint-presentation-HA001056547.aspx

Helps to know if my computer can run Windows 8.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP - 3 on a Dell computer that I remember precisely the age. When I try to run the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8, I get an error message saying that it is not a valid Win 32 application, and it will not work. I was not able to find articles or messages by other people with this problem, so I'm at a loss to know how do I know if my computer can run Windows 8. Any suggestions or ideas?
My computer has a coprocessor 2 GHz and 3 GB of RAM, among other things, it seems that I should be able to make the transition. But, how can I do to determine if I can't run the upgrade wizard? I even tried Googling this issue, which usually find anything and cannot find any reference to this problem. Any help will be appreciated.

can I use external monitor with my laptop, but the laptop screen is broken can it work
my screen is broken I can see pieces of the screen, but not enough to change things so can system work I connect always external monitor at the moment until the repair is possible thanks steve
Hello Stephen,
Assuming that you have the right cable, Yes, you can. In all likelihood, you will need a cable to VGA 15 pins to connect your monitor to your laptop. With a bit of luck, your laptop should recognize your external monitor and shunt video to it.
If it's not, or you need to change whatever it is, go to control panel, Manager of devices and open this applet. You may need to check both places. The first is graphics cards - your video card, which is part of the integrated graphics card likely your motherboard. The second is monitors, who will be where your external monitor is displayed. Your duty to make sure what your video (graphics card) points to the external monitor (monitors).
If you have any questions, please post them here. Let me know how you fare.
Kind regards

How do I know if the laptop has been refurbished HP?
Product: HP G62-340US
Hello
I bought this laptop on EBay they had listed renovated manufacturing, I even sent them a message asking where this product has been renovated since then and they sayed manufacturing. Finally anyway how can I know that this product was actually refurbished at HP? Not considering, it is serial number located anywhere on this laptop.
-Thank you
If there is no HP sticker on the laptop (it may be in the Bay of battery or under the protection of the memory-hard drive according to the model), then is is not rehabilitated by HP.
If you place the HP sticker then product number (p/n) will reflect an R in the string just before the #.
See this post
Sticker HP will look like this, #2 is the number of the product

How will I know if a language can be my display language?
I have a Surface Pro 2 in Japanese and I spent at least an entire day trying to get the da * n thing to display in English. I've added English as a language and adjustable keyboard, time, currency, blah blah in English. What I can't do is to display the Control Panel, screen and welcome messages in English. The link before coming here, said "If your language can be defined as the display language, you can choose it to the language screen. How do I know?
Hi Chris,
Once you download and install a language pack on your Surface Pro 2 you need to connect, and then connect to the back of your computer to see the changes. I suggest you follow the steps in the section "change of display language your windows" from the link given below.

Dv6t-7200 notebook want: how will I know if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10?
I searched HP website to see if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10. I also tried the plug assistant in charge of hp and he has just directed me to a page of sale on windows 10. I don't want to mess up this computer and reload all the software, if it's not compatible. Is there a list of compatible computers HP or an app that I can run to check? I lost a lot of time looking for the HP support for this information. Microsoft told to go to the manufacturer for this information. Help, please.
They are going to do this Web page to verify, you can maintain control, the link on the next page is still broken.

I wonder if my laptop can run Photoshop on a regular basis.
My laptop is NT900X3K-K35 Core™ i3, which is in 'Notebook 9' series of Samsung Eletronics.
It said that its spec is as follows:
: Processor CPU Intel® Core™ i3 5005U (2.00 GHz, 3 MB L3 Cache)
Graphics card: Intel® HD Graphics 5500
OS: Windows 10 home
RAM: 4 GB LPDDR3 system memory at 1600 MHz (on BD 4 GB)
Display: 33.7 cm SuperBright + 350nit QHD display LED (3200 x 1800)
The question is, can I run Photoshop CC 2015 regularly?
I think I can run once or twice per week (3 ~ 4 hours per each race), but I want to be able to run all day long.
The seller who sold it says I can't (he said, my laptop will be down, one day, if I do), but the computer engineer I know well says that I can comfortably (it will just be run slowly).
I'm so confused. Purchase CC 2015 and the purchase of older versions (by used or unused CD-ROM?) with a higher price of single payment (the use of CC 2 ~ 3 years)-who will be the best choice for me?
Hi Kth,
Please see the following link for the needs of the CC of Photoshop: Photoshop system requirements
Also, what are the minimum requirements according to the link, and the system information you provided are very low for Photoshop to run smoothly.
You might face from developed, Photoshop does not not with your current system specs.
Kind regards
