  2. Open Displays.

  3. Click on the image of the monitor you would like to activate or deactivate, then switch it ON/OFF.

  5. To change the "position" of a monitor, click on it and drag it to the desired position.

    If you would like both monitors to display the same content, check the Mirror displays box.

  6. When you are happy with your settings, click Apply and then click Keep This Configuration.

  7. To close the Displays click on the x in the top corner.
