You can use the Search charm to find more display settings. Here's how:

∙Open the Search charm, type display, and then tap or click Settings. Choose a setting from the search results.

Connect Surface to a second monitor

You can connect Surface to a monitor so that you have two screens to work with. For info on how to do this, see Connect to a TV, monitor, or projector in this guide.

Use the on-screen keyboard

Surface has an on-screen, touch keyboard that appears when you need it.

Show the keyboard

When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, fold back the cover like a magazine cover or remove it. Now tap in a text field or other area where you can type. The keyboard appears automatically.

Important The on-screen keyboard doesn’t automatically appear if you’re at the desktop. Instead, you need to tap or click the Keyboard icon on the taskbar.

If you want to open the on-screen keyboard manually (without tapping in a text field or other area where you can type), here's how:

1.Open the Settings charm, and then tap or click the Keyboard icon at the lower right.

2.Tap or click Touch keyboard and handwriting panel.

3.Tap where you want to type.
