You need to set the output to your HDMI (probably graphical properties):idea:0

Generic Laptop instruction:
Check your keyboard's "f" keys along the top. Look for one that as a symbol like this "IOI"
That's the screen output key. Press the "fn" and the f-key with the symbol.
It should switch between:
both screens on,
the laptop screen only
and the external screen only.Laters
