    Hooking up dual monitors


    System Windows 10 Home 64 bit
    I'm trying to hook dual monitors to my system. One monitor is a reasonably new BenQ hooked to the desktop with an HDMI cable. The other monitor is a an older Acer hooked to the desktop with a VGA cable. Setup works except for one problem. I want the BenQ as my #1 and it shows #2 with the Acer as #1. I've tried all the tutorials I can find and nothing works. Can anyone help me please?

    :)

    Dual Monitors hooked to a laptop

    I've got a Windows 10 laptop which is convertible to a tablet. Specifically, you can turn the screen around and lay it down for note taking in class. What I'm trying to do is hook the laptop to a dual monitor setup. Every time my computer is put into the
    tablet mode it will not put an image out onto my dual monitors, then I have to reconfigure the display settings. I just want to know how to have it automatically detect my dual monitors being plugged in and to display the image on the monitors whether the
    lid is open, closed, or in tablet mode.

    dual monitor

    Hello, I have dual monitors at work and I was told what I needed for home. I bought the VGA splitor and I have a regular monitor and I tv that I was using as a monitor, has a VGA output. I hooked it up tonight and only the monitor works, the TV/monitor
    says no signal but was working fine before. I hooked up each by themselves and both work. but working off the spliter they do not. Can someone please assist? I have win 10. I can not find the dual monitor setting.
