ok my dad has a laptop and he wants to use a bigger monitor with it. i went into the properties and set it up as dual monitors. but he wants the other monitor to be exactly what is on the laptop screen. i didnt see an option for that and i dont know how to do that. so how can i get a copy of the laptop monitor onto the other screen?

The only thing that comes to mind is by trying to trick the computer in thinking it is a projector and seeing if that works.
