  2. Extending Screen to Laptop

    Pressing MS KEY + P brings up PROJECT which shows display options PC screen only, Duplicate, Extend, Second screen only. After selecting Extent I then click on the “Connect to a wireless display”. Then I select my laptop that is listed.

    That has worked well in the past, but the during a session a few days ago the connection dropped and I have not seen my laptop in the list since.

    I have not found any steps to take that actually address this issue.

    How to connect surface pro as an extended display with touch and pen options?

    Hi Team,

    Step 1) I extend my display by connecting to wireless display.

    Step 2) my extended display but doesn’t allow the touch screen or pointer or pen on it.

    I couldn’t do that after I upgraded the laptop from windows 10 to 11. FYI – the extend option used to see my surface/tablet as PC in Windows 10, but now just as display in Windows 11.



    I’ve been using the surface screen along with its pen like a white board for illustrations in Teams meetings and am missing my hand now. Appreciate any help.

    no audio on extended display

    We would like to know more information from your end to know what is the next possible step that we can offer for you to resolve your issue.



    • Were you able to get an audio on your extended display before? Or is this the first time that you will set up an extended display with your computer?
    • Aside from the HDMI cable, have you tried using VGA cable instead to connect to your extended display?
    • Can you verify if you have any audio on your speakers if you are not connected to the extended display?


    We look forward to your reply.
