So I have to work from home because of the corona virus. They sent me home with my laptop, but I need dual screens. Problem is my laptop doesn't have display port connections and that's all I have at home.  I have a dual screen set up on my gaming system so I figure the best way to do this is to remote in.  Does anyone have a good program they can recommend that will allow me to remote in and have dual screens when the laptop isn't plugged into two screens? Or is this even a possibility?

Teamviewer allows multiple displays but to my knowledge not simultaneously like you probably want. You'd have to switch between them as needed.

 

You can try AnyDesk. Haven't used it myself but perhaps it will do what you're asking.

The definition of “remote in” escapes me.

might mean any input I have is useless.

 I take it only the laptop can connect to your work?  What ports does it have?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

yes only my laptop can access my work.  My company uses a special vpn to connect to John Deeres systems and I can't move it from computer to computer so my only option is to use that laptop with one screen or find some way to get it to allow me to dual screen without being able to hook it up.  I don't have the monitors with the connections.  In my office obviously this isn't a problem, but these are fairly unusual circumstances.
