1. Right-click any empty area on your desktop and then click Screen resolution.
2. Click the Multiple displays drop-down list, and then select “Duplicate these displays”. Note if you cannot see the additional monitor(s) listed, click Detect. If it does not work, try restarting your computer and do step 1 to 2 again.
