I have a windows 8, now 8.1 hp laptop with a damaged screen. I wanted to know if I upgraded or did a clean install to windows 10, would it automatically recognize my external monitor/tv. When I had 8 and upgraded to 8.1 it automatically recognized it. Will windows 10 do the same? I tried to install windows 10 yesterday and I couldnt tell if it was done installing because it wasnt on my external screen. I noticed that the wifi light was on and the cap locks was able to be turned off and on so I thought it was done. So I then restarted the computer seeing how I wasnt able to see the screen and it powered back up on the external monitor saying it failed to install windows 10 and something about system.boot so i figured it was because I restarted the computer. It went back to the 8.1 version. Maybe if I waited longer it would've kicked on the external screen? What should I do?

You may be running into the same type of issue that I faced using Remote Desktop to perform an upgrade -- first boot pauses while you get shown the chance to opt out of having your privacy violated, and those seem to show only on the primary screen. After that, startup continues and remote desktop services and secondary monitors get enabled. – Ben Voigt – 2015-07-31T18:15:10.390
So are you saying I should try remote desktop? – Nikki – 2015-07-31T18:25:50.303
No, but I'm saying when you look for a solution to bypassing or preselecting the privacy preferences, you may find that someone has written about it in the context of remote desktop, rather than secondary monitors. – Ben Voigt – 2015-07-31T18:27:49.523
yeah you can install from external monitor, ever i installed in that way only. what ever you can see in laptop monitor(working condition) that can be viewable in external monitor , go ahead – bhv – 2015-08-11T10:23:03.567
