Open the downloaded installation file (.exe) by double clicking and wait for the installation process to complete. Once installed, the program will run automatically. If you don’t, you can search on the desktop to open it manually. Here you can choose the resolution of the second screen. After making the necessary adjustments, open the program and search for your mobile. The next thing you need to do is download the Splashtop Wired XDisplay app on your Android mobile. You can get this for free in the Play Store (we leave the download box below). Open the app and click “OK” and connect the mobile phone to the PC with a USB cable and that’s it. By doing this, the second screen of your computer will be transferred to your mobile, which you can configure as a second monitor from the Windows “Screen Settings” to reproduce, extend or improve.
