linking a laptop and larger screen

iwilldoitthistime

Hi

My mum has a standalone computer and a laptop. The laptop is newer and has much better speed etc, but she doesnt find the screen too easy to see. is there a way of linking her existing larger screen to the laptop, so she could use the laptop keyboard, and the bigger screen?

thanks

Hi there. Yes, this is possible. Find the lead that goes between the monitor (screen) and the computer and disconnect it at the computer end. This should then plug in to the corresponding laptop port. do a search on google for 'connect laptop to screen' and you will find pictures. I'm not able to copy the links here.

as above, but you might need a different lead, as the laptop port might not be compatible. As Nuclear Bear says, if you google, you will get lots of advice on this, including some youtube videos that should make it clear what you need.
