    ok my dad has a laptop and he wants to use a bigger monitor with it. i went into the properties and set it up as dual monitors. but he wants the other monitor to be exactly what is on the laptop screen. i didnt see an option for that and i dont know how to do that. so how can i get a copy of the laptop monitor onto the other screen?

    when i connect my computer to a screen i just press fn f5 and then it displays it on the screen, then if i press it again i get it on both the screen and the laptop. try that and see if it works

    The only thing that comes to mind is by trying to trick the computer in thinking it is a projector and seeing if that works.
