set it up now before it goes.

plug the monitor into the VGA port at the back of your laptop.

go to properties > settings & choose activate the 2nd display & tick the box saying "use this as my primary display"

Laptop should have a FN key on the keyboard and an LCD/CRT button that you can press to toggle from having just the internal monitor on, the external monitor or both.
