    Help me find out how to use two screens as monitors

    ummm, post your specs on what GPU you have please. Most modern GPU cards have multiple outs (hdmi, d link, etc) You don't want to use the out on the GPU card and also the out on the MB at the same time. You would use 2 of the outs on the GPU card and configure it in Nvidia or Radeon app

    Got to ask where you got your Windows 10 from? It does not seem to have come with your new PC. If you are planning on installing Windows 10 on a new PC, you would need a virgin copy and not one that was use on your old PC. Windows is tied to your Motherboard. Fresh install is easy. Set your...
