To get started, set the tablet next to your computer and connect it to the same Wi-Fi network. On your tablet, swipe down twice to open the Quick Settings panel. Scroll through the panel and tap the “Second Screen” toggle. Select “Drawing/Gaming” or “Video” as your connection mode and keep the Second Screen window open.

To use a tablet as a second monitor, simply download the app on both your tablet and laptop. Each app will give you the capability to connect via a cable (which reduce portability) or wireless connection (which is less stable, but more portable).

On your tablet, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel. Swipe to the left, and then tap the Second screen icon. Choose your desired connection mode: Drawing/gaming or Video. Once you’ve chosen the connection method, do not leave the Second screen page; it needs to be open to connect your two devices.

By default, Spacedesk will mirror your Windows display on your tablet, but you can also use the tablet as an extension for the main screen. On your Windows PC, go to Settings -> System -> Display. Click the Duplicate these displays button, and switch to Extend these displays.
