HDMI how to watch video

I have been in the hospital for two months (really old also). My windows 10 PC is dedicated primarily to watching videos. It is already setup to watch videos using an HDMI cable (already attached), but I have forgotten how get the video to play from the computer to my big screen tv.

I know it has to be simple, but I just cannot remember how. I could use a step by step how to.

Thanks

 

Watching Videos on hdmi

I watch a lot of videos using the hdmi in Windows 10.
Is there anyway to pause the video and then restart it with hdmi? Normally I use Media Player Classic watching the videos.

 

HDMI how to watch video

I also have my laptop permanently connected at my TV with HDMI. To skip drag-n-dropping the video windows from the laptop internal screen to the TV, I pressed the Win+P key combination and set to "Second screen only". When I have the laptop connected to the TV, its screen is turned off and I use the TV as screen to do my video watching. When I disconnect the HDMI cable, then the laptop activates the internal screen and works as expected. I use a wireless keyboard/mouse set so I can control the laptop from my couch. If you want to also use the internal laptop screen, set "Extend this display".
