Sometimes I want to close the laptop lid and only use one screen. I have connected an external monitor (HDMI) and I use both the laptop screen and the external one.

How to connect 2 laptop screens to HDMI?.How do I get out of the second screen? Windows 10 and Windows 11 only?.

I usually travel with a main laptop and a backup laptop anyway. I also used Duet Display and used my iPad Pro as a second monitor. In fact, I'm literally sitting here in a hotel with a separate USB3 LCD display that can be used as a second monitor.

Although I knew Miracast and the general idea of ?a wireless display, I didn't know it worked so well and was built into Windows 10 and Windows 11.

However, I would like to connect it to an existing PC via the existing Mini-DisplayPort and use it as an extended monitor from my primary PC, but via a touchscreen capacity.? That means you can connect a second monitor to the surface. All the searches I have carried out point to the other way. I had the crazy idea of ?connecting it to the PC as an additional monitor that enables touchscreen functions.

I have a Surface Pro that has been standing around for a while.

Surface Pro external monitor not working?.

For example, if the monitor uses a VGA connection, your laptop must have a VGA connector and you will need a VGA cable to connect the laptop to the monitor.? So make sure that your laptop has the same connection type as the monitor and that you have the cable to connect the two. Monitors use different types of connections.

This is useful in situations where your laptop's display is too small for your needs, but the information you need is stored on the laptop.
