How to setup dual monitors with a laptop? (one laptop display, one TV display for example) I mean two separate displays which enable me to do 2 things at once. (for instance, watching Youtube videos with TV display while typing documents with laptop display)
Any help is much appreciated.

Plug the display into the laptop, right-click on the desktop, go to Display Settings, and set it to extended desktop mode

Plug it in and set it to extend desktop. It's really the same as doing it on a desktop.
