Windows 10: extra monitor with my lap top

Is it possible to set up an additional monitor next to my laptop... essentially creating dual monitors but with a stand alone monitor and a laptop? Its what I'm working with... likely not but throwing out the question anyway...

Lap top will not completely forget external monitor.

I have a lap top with a second monitor and utilize them mainly for photo editing software and scrapbooking software simultaneously. I often need to bring just my lap top to events, so I disable the external monitor. It will no longer completely forget
that monitor. I have tried every method suggested by friends and Google. While making a choice in one of the software programs, a box will pop up with the next question, and when I am on two monitors it always goes to the other one. When I disable the second
monitor, even unplug the HDMI, the box that should pop up doesn't show up on my lap top. I am then stuck, unable to proceed until I plug the monitor back in and change my settings to dual monitors. Then, the box that popped up shows on the second monitor.
I can't have this happen when I am out of the house working in these programs. Any thoughts?

FSX on a lap top

I was given FSX as a gift and at that time I had a lap top with a disk drive that I could use. Now, my new lap-top does not have a disk drive but I saw in the box that it came with a product key. does this mean that I can download it on to my new lap-top
with the product key? where can I do that?
