Windows 10: Is there an EXACT keybind to duplicate my screen via hdmi?

Hi, I have a lenovo laptop that uses Windows. I've had it for 5 years and the screen no longer works. It cannot be fixed. I need to get files off of it and access an old email that I no longer have access to. I am trying to use hdmi to duplicate the screen onto my TV. It is all plugged in and powered on however I can't use the screen to access the necessary buttons to duplicate. Is there an EXACT keybind to duplicate my screen via hdmi? I cannot find anything on the internet and without my screen I can't find the button either.

:)

 

Why exactly is ATi considered be better at HDMI?

I plug my HDMI cable into the card, then into my TV. Those are the steps that I have to do. All the steps you list make absolutely no sense to me.

Can't Duplicate my screen on Projector with HDMI cable

Hey there, I recently had windows 11 installed on my Leveno computer and got a new projector at the same time. I am now having issues when I plug an HDMI cord and try to duplicate my screen. It will allow me to extend through the projector but not Duplicate. Any help would be appreciated.

Projector will work fine wirelessly.

Have a brand new HDMI cable.

Other computers work fine with the cable and projector.
