Explanation
When both screens show identical content, the display is in Duplicate (Mirror) mode. To use the external monitor as additional workspace, the user must change the display mode to Extend in Windows Display Settings (Settings > System > Display > Multiple displays > Extend these displays). No new hardware assistant, docking station, or tiling feature is needed - this is a simple display configuration change.
