How the external monitor, my main screen and not the laptop?

I went to devices-> project->, extend, but the only option seems to be the laptop as main screen and the secondary monitor. I would like to the external monitor to the main screen. I did it on other computers, probably, it is possible with the updated technology?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi tide,

I suggest you follow these steps on an external monitor as the primary display.

a. drag from the right edge of the screen, tap settings, and then click change PC settings.
(If you use a mouse, point to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse to the top, click settings and then click Change PC settings).

b. press or click on PCs and devices, and then tap or click on display.

c. in the image preview, tap or click the monitor you want to use as the main screen for the select.

d. Select the checkbox make of this my main screen .

See the article for more information.

  • External monitor like main screen for M200 with docking station

    Hi all

    I have a Tablet M200 with GeForce FX go 5200. I have a Toshiba docking station and an external LCD display. When it is docked, I would use the external LCD as main display and the LCD builtin as the secondary display. (I want the taskbar, icons and newly opened windows on the external screen when it is docked.)

    Unfortunately, I can't find the right combination of settings of this. If I put Windows to extend the desktop on the external screen, "use it as primary display" option is grayed out. I don't get the span horizontally or vertically options in the nView utility, just the Standard and the Clone (and this only if I do not extend to the office.)

    How can I get the external screen be the main while being the internal school?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Satellite A200-1AE: how to set external monitor like main screen on Win XP

    Model: A200-1AE
    OPERATING SYSTEM: XP SP2

    I want to use the external display in Windows XP. It would be necessary that the external display is the main thing and office expansion took place on the computer screen. The driver, downloaded from your site do not do... If this possibility is, in Windows Vista.

    How it is possible to solve my problem?

    Hello

    As far as I know that's not possible. In my case, this option is grayed out!

    But maybe it is possible on your laptop. In this case, you must Access the properties of the graphics card. Then go to the last tab called settings.

    There, you must mark the 2 screen and activate the option called use this device as the primary monitor.
    But if this option is not available you will not be able to settle this!

  • How to get an external monitor like main screen...

    Hello...

    The monitor on my HP Pavilion dv9830us PC laptop has not worked for some time and I had to use an external CRT monitor for my screen. A few nights ago my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 10.04) failed to load and because I can not get flow to my external monitor until the video drivers on video Ubuntu loads, I am unable to run the repair of Ubuntu and the beginning of the start feature.

    Is it possible that I can get my laptop to use my external monitor at all times, even in the BIOS screen? Is there a setting in the BIOS for this?

    Thank you!

    Hi all...

    Nevermind, problem solved... Praise be to God!

    He made the screen on my laptop work long enough where I could press the needed button to get Ubuntu running and upward. This is literally the first time I saw him work in more than a year, no matter what I tried... seriously!

    Whatever your beliefs, (whose son is Jesus Christ) there is a God and he wonders!

    Thank you again...

  • Tecra S2: Definition of external monitor like main display

    Hi all

    last week I got a new laptop Tecra S2 and I have the problem to my external monitor like main screen in dual display mode. The section in the window is grayed out.

    Anyone know how can I enable this feature?

    On my old laptop (Tecra S1 with ATI graphics card) there was no problem to move the main exit from the internal to the external display.

    Sincerely,
    Martin

    Hi Martin

    As much as I know it is not possible to set the external monitor as primary. The LCD cell is always set as primary. I use Tecra M1 (similar to S1) and this option is grayed out too.

    In my Office I use it with docking station and external monitor. When Windows starts the first appears on the external display, but the log in window is still shown at laptop LCD.

    Sorry, but it's like it was. Designed Toshiba display driver has been installed on your old Tecra S1?

    If you mean that you want the taskbar to be placed at the top of the screen...

    Right-click on the taskbar, don't check that no check mark to 'lock the taskbar '.

    Method 1:

    Left-click in the taskbar and HOLD > drag the taskbar to the top of the screen.

    Method 2:

    Right click on the task bar > click Properties > tab taskbar at the top > in place of the taskbar on the screen, click on the pointer, and then select top > click OK when finished.

  • On Windows 8, by default, OneNote when I try to use the print option. How do I set printer as default and not in OneNote?

    When I try to use the print option. How do I set printer as default and not in OneNote? Also, when I want to print from a web page (on the Web page printing option) it goes to OneNote and not print. I have also pulled up a file saved in OneNote and selected the print option in the Menu. I selected a specific page and is nevertheless not print?

    Because your message is off-topic in the comment forum, I moved it to the forum Windows 8 "Performance and Maintenance", where it is more on the subject.

    As you watch the start page, type "default printer".  A list appears on the right side of the screen.  Tap 'settings' and 'Change the default printer' will appear on the left.  Tap it.  Your devices folder and printers opens on the desktop.  You will see that "Send to OneNote" will have a green check mark next to it.  Right click on the printer, if you have already installed it, then select "Set as default".  Close the folder.  Therefore, when printing, your printer will be the default device.

    If you have not yet installed a printer, make sure you download the latest driver for 8 compatible of Windows to the web site of the manufacturer and install the driver following the instructions of the manufacturer.  Then set the default device.

  • When you use multiple monitors, my main screen goes to a lower resolution, and I can't change it.

    When I use "extend" the screen on my laptop resolution remains: 1920 x 1080, and the external monitor uses resolution of 1280 x 1024.

    But if I use "duplicate", the two screens are set to 1280 x 720 (despite being different for each screen ratios) and the resolution box is grayed out.

    In addition, for some reason, my laptop screen becomes poster 1 & 2 with the external monitor being 3. There are only 2 screens physically, however.

    How can I get the correct behavior for two copies?

    I know my monitors are not the same report, but I already used this configuration in Windows 7 on my old laptop with no problems. On Windows 7, the external monitor Gets a black bar at the top and bottom to restrict it to my laptop screen 16:9 ratio.

    It's the screen resolution window when I use "duplicate".

    Yes...

    'Duplicate' will do it.  It is not "Duplicate" "sorta show the same thing on both screens.  ;-)
     
    Without third-party applications duplicate screens have the same resolution and the maximum resolution is the maximum resolution of the screen that has the smallest maximum resolution.
     
    Now - if you can be able to use the video device software full to make this (nVidia, AMD/ATI, Intel) in their more advanced control panel - that would be your application third-party in this case.  It would be under the ADVANCED above settings * if * you have installed.  I can't say what gave you what video card you have and if you have installed the complete drivers and the software of the manufacturer of the device or not - but I suggest you to do this and see if their advanced settings might help you.

  • Satellite A100-646 and external monitor shows black screen

    Hi all

    I have a similar problem with A100-646 (purchased in Italy). Computer laptop LCD and monitor external display screen black but without another problem at the start of the system. When the laptop is not used for a long time (half a year) it works for a week with no problems.

    Unfortunately, there is no adequate service in a place where I live. Perhaps, there is a power problem.

    Is there another idea? Does anyone have a service manual? ([email protected])

    Service manuals are available only for the technicians of the ASP.
    Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware problem, and therefore, you should get in contact with a technician for laptop to check defective parts!

  • Win runing XP two monitors in DualView mode and not remembering the last size and location of the records? How to solve this problem?

    I am running WinXP SP3 with two monitors running in DualView Mode and everything worked as expected until I installed the latest NViDIA drivers.

    After the update of the pilot, all windows and folders open centered on the main display and all pop-up windows from any open window, centered on the secondary display.

    Any changes to the size and the location of the windows and/or files is not saved.

    I finish the registery fix suggested and it fixed the problem.

    is maximally, & the BIOS settings are set to a different monitor, Direct X updates, graphics software are updated, then

    We should be able to run a reg monitor... Chk, go in run or cmd, type: DXDIAG run Direct X.

    Also, the BIOS settings are critical, uninstall the default, add new ones.
