CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 27

A user tries to connect a monitor to a laptop to have an additional screen for work, but both screens show the same content. Which of the following should the user do to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Use the Add New Hardware assistant to add the monitor and set up the required settings.
• B. Purchase a docking station to connect both the laptop and the monitor.
• C. Configure the Windows tiling feature to display multiple windows.
• D. Go to the Display settings and configure the external monitor as extended.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is appropriate because it directs the user to the Display settings where they can set the external monitor to extend the desktop rather than mirror it. Options A and B do not address the specific issue of the display configuration, while option C pertains to window management rather than display settings.
