Connect a 2nd Monitor to Laptop on Windows 10/11

  • by



Step by step guide on how to connect your monitor to a laptop. I talk about adapters, cables, and what setting to use for the best experience.

I recommend getting a 4k 60Hz USB C adapter. The one I’m using in the video is a cheap one and can only do 4k 30Hz.
