help with setting display 1

Go to solution Solved by xToFxREAPER,

I hope this makes sense i'm using a laptop with a 24 inch monitor connected to it. how do i set the Monitor to be number 1 not number 2?  when i try play games they only open on the laptop screen unless i set it to only use the monitor.

id like the laptop screen for looking at youtube or whatever.

If you click on the number 2 monitor thats pictured there will be a little tick box right under the drop down that says multiple displays. tick that box and click apply it will set it to be primary though it will still be called number 2 it will use it for games.
