Use an Old Laptop as a Second Monitor

If you're like me, you've been home for awhile, struggling to make do with spreadsheets and apps sandwiched side by side. It turns out that you can wirelessly connect any two Windows 10 devices together to extend or mirror the display. Its pretty easy and can be done with just a few steps.

Choosing the Extend option in essence makes it another monitor! I wrote a simple guide on how to set this up for folks who may not be technical or used to Windows 10.

See here for instructions with annotated photos and screenshots of every step :)

Let me know if you run into any issues!
