Tech Tips 12 - Using Laptop as an External Wireless Monitor
*Sorry for the delay in uploading this Tech Tip #12. I discovered a mistake in the recorded media and instead of adding a disclaimer and uploading it, I chose to record the video again. So I uploaded #13 before this one and I apologize to everyone for that and thank you for your patience during re-recording!

In this tech tip we will see how we can use a laptop or Microsoft Surface (any version) as an external monitor for another computer wirelessly! Meaning, you have computer A, either a desktop or laptop of any type, and it is your main and primary computer you will work on. You also have computer B, which is a laptop (any manufacturer) or Microsoft Surface of any type, and we will use this one as a second monitor to computer A...wirelessly!
Both must be running Windows 10 or 11 and be connected on the same Wifi network.
There is no cost for any applications or downloads, everything is free and we just need to turn on the software in both systems, then you are ready to go! I'll walk you through step-by-step in this video.
Bible verse from this video: https://www.bible.com/bible/114/HEB.1...
Hebrews 13:5 & 6: "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”"
