  3. How to extend desktop across two screens on homegroup

    Hi Rob,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to refer to the below steps and check if it helps.


    • Right-click the desktop, and select
      Properties or Personalize.

    • Next select Display Settings from the list of
      preferences.

    • You should see icons with numbers representing your attached monitors. If one is disabled, it will be grayed out.

    • Select the second monitor and choose to either
      extend your desktop or mirror your desktop.

    • Your options may be dependent on the graphics card that you have
      installed.

    • You may need to make these changes from within your
      control panel. If you have these installed, they can be found in your
      Start menu
    Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

    Re: All boot options are tried...

    Hi Elda,

    If the boot sequence didn't work, then we suggest try running the laptop in safe mode. To do this, here's a few steps to follow:

    • Power down your laptop.
    • Turn it back on again.
    • When you turn it back on, press F8 repeatedly until the power on option appeared.
    • If you see the boot option "Safe Mode with Networking", choose that option.
    • See if you can boot up in Safe mode.

    We'll look forward to your response.
