Connecting monitor to laptop

allthedoyles · 2020-03-15 19:32:05

Connecting a screen to laptop in order to work from home. Need 2 screens , but need different programmes on each screen. By just connecting the monitor , I am getting identical on both laptop and 2nd screen. How do we change this to view different items per screen ?
