I have had my desktop Dell, with Windows 8.1, well over 10 years, and now it has been hanging up after only a few minutes of booting up -- sometimes giving me a BSoD . I've spent many hours with different kinds of 'fixes' (which the computer couldn't eventually fix), 'refreshing' of the system', etc. I've given up on it . There are probably too many system errors to try and fix with outside-the-system apps, so I'm not going to even bother with it anymore .

However, I do have an HP Notebook, with Windows 10 Home (HP 15 with 4gb of installed Ram) that works perfectly .
I want to use the Desktop DELL monitor (which still works great) as a second monitor, because it is much larger than the Notebook computer screen .

I have an HDMI cable that works perfectly .
I plugged one end of it into my HDMI port on the Notebook, and the other end of the cable to the DELL monitor's HDMI port .
In the Control Panel settings for multiple monitors, I clicked on the number 2 for single monitor only -- clicked on the 'detect' button -- and it came back as "could not detect a device" . I rechecked both ends for a tight connection . . . and they were snug .
Still I couldn't get the Notebook to detect another device (the DELL monitor)
QUESTION :
I am wondering if the Notebook's HDMI port is an incoming signal only . . . what say you ?
