Windows 10: Connect laptop with PC control elements via PC?

I have a working laptop which is quite old (7 years a LENOVO IDEAPAD G780 M843MGE notebook) and I would like to use it with my PC setup at home.

Here I have 2 large screens, keyboard and of course mouse connected to the tower and everything just nicely matched to the workplace.

Can I connect my laptop to the output and input devices of the tower via a program on the PC or an adapter without having to unplug everything each time?

If you have questions about the system, please just write, it's hard to give all the details...

Both systems run on W10

Thanks for your answers.

Cant connect my XBOX ONE controller to my W10 pc via bluetooth

Hi,

If you encounter issues connecting an Xbox One Wireless Controller on your Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth, it may be because of an incorrect device configuration. Another factor that we have to take into consideration is an outdated Bluetooth driver. We suggest
running the Bluetooth troubleshooter on your Windows 10 PC. Here are the steps:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings >
  Update & security > Troubleshoot.
• Under Find and fix other problems, select Bluetooth >
  Run the troubleshooter.
• Restart your device so that the changes will take effect.
• Disconnect then reconnect the controller and check if the same issue occurs.

We also recommend verifying if the Bluetooth device shows on the Device Manager. To do so, kindly perform the following steps:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
• In Device Manager, select View > Show hidden devices.
• In Device Manager, select View > Devices by connection.
• Find your Bluetooth hardware.

For additional troubleshooting steps, refer to
How to connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your Xbox One Wireless Controller. The details on that page will guide you how to connect the controller via Bluetooth as well as troubleshooting methods you may perform if you encounter issues with the Bluetooth
connection.

We're looking forward to get this issue resolved.

Do get back to us with the progress. We'd be more than willing to provide you additional troubleshooting solutions.

 

Windows 10 PC won't recognize PS4 controller plugged in via USB

When i plug in my PS4 controller to a PC, i get the infamous "yellow light of death" where the controller shows a brief yellow light before fading. I've tried looking this up but nothing seems to solve the problem. My controller worked yesterday evening
perfectly but today it suddenly stopped working. Also, neither my PC nor my laptop recognize the controller in "devices and drivers" -menu, nor do i get the windows sound when i plug in a device.

The methods i've tried for solving this so far have been:

• Plugging the controller to another PC (my laptop),
• uninstalling all USB and HID drivers and rebooting,
• pushing the reset button on the controller and rebooting the PC,
• trying multiple different usb slots on both of my PC and laptop,
• Pushing the PS button and options+share buttons to try to connect/recognize it via bluetooth,
• Trying multiple different usb cables.

I did manage to connect my controller via bluetooth to my laptop, but i had pre-installed a driver(scptoolkit) of my controller to that computer. The laptop still couldn't recognize the usb connection i had plugged in. The bluetooth connection worked flawlessly
on my laptop but i can't use that on my PC.

Any suggestions?

I would greatly appreciate all help.
