Modified on Tue, 23 Jan at 4:49 PM

Duplicating your screen in Windows is a useful feature that allows you to display the same content on two different screens. This can be helpful in many situations, such as when you need to give a presentation or share your screen with someone else. Here's how to duplicate/extend your screen in Windows 10 and 11:


1. Connect your second screen: First, you need to connect your second screen to your computer. You can do this by using an HDMI or VGA cable, or by using a wireless display adapter.


2. Open the display settings: Once your second screen is connected, right-click on your desktop and select "Display settings" from the menu.


3. Choose the "Duplicate" or "Extend" option: In the display settings, you'll see a section called "Multiple displays." Here, you can choose how you want your screens to be displayed. To duplicate your screen, select the "Duplicate these displays" option.


4. Adjust the display settings: If you want to make any adjustments to the display settings, such as changing the resolution or orientation, you can do so in this section.


5. Test the connection: Once you've made your changes, click "Apply" and then "Keep changes" to save them. You should now see the same content on both screens.


If you encounter any issues while duplicating your screen, such as a blank screen or poor image quality, try adjusting the display settings or checking your cables and connections. With these simple steps, you can easily duplicate your screen in Windows and enjoy a more efficient and productive computing experience.
