Most laptops also come with ports that allow you to hook up an external monitor. Just plug the monitor into the appropriate port on your computer, and Windows should automatically extend your desktop onto it.

You can then drag and drop windows between monitors. If the idea of connecting multiple monitors is appealing, but the thought of doing it yourself is daunting or confusing, just give us a call.
