    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

    Please assist me with the following information related to this issue:

    • Which web browser are you using to watch online videos?

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
