Over the years we have worked with dozens of adapters and can therefore advise you very well. You are also welcome to receive a suitable adapter from us with your order. To do this, simply specify your notebook model and the adapter you need when you place your order. We will find out the suitable adapters for you and send you an offer.
Windows: If you find the text on the notebookwings too small, you can increase the size of the text via the Windows settings. To do this, go to Settings > System > Display, select the display at the top and increase the "Size of text, apps and other elements" under "Scaling and arrangement". For example, set a value of 150% and the text should be easy for you to read. MacOS: If the text on notebookwings is displayed too small for you, you can enlarge the text via the settings of your Mac. To do this, go to System Preferences > Display > in the Display tab, select the "Scaled" radio button. Select the resolution 1344 x 756.
Windows: To do this, go to Settings > System > Sound and select a source other than "HDMI (Intel(R) Display Audio)" under "Select Output Device". If you have multiple sources available, test through them until you have sound again. MacOS: To do this, go to System Preferences > Sound > Output and select "Internal Speakers" from the "Select a device for sound output" list.
Don't worry, this is a quick and easy customization in your display settings. Follow the step-by-step guide below to set everything up. If you see a similar picture as below, your screens are duplicated and you need to switch to extended screens. To do this, follow these steps:
In Windows, go to Settings > System > Display and under "Rearrange screens" click on the rectangle with "1|2" (or in some cases "1|3" or "2|3") and highlight it blue.
Scroll down to the section "Multiple displays".
Select "Extend these displays" from the "Multiple screens" drop-down menu.
Make sure you select "Keep changes" in the subsequent message, Note that the message may be displayed on one of your additional screens, but still make sure you select "Keep changes".
Don't worry, this is actually how the product was designed and can be easily fixed. Below is a quick guide on how to rotate the display on Windows and MacOS.
Windows:

Identify the upside down screen by clicking on the "Identify" button.
Click on the upside down screen within the display menu, highlighting it blue (as shown below).
Scroll down to "Scaling and Arrangement", click on the "Orientation" dropdown menu and select "Landscape (flipped)". If this is already selected, then select "Landscape".

The notebookwings are compatible with the Microsoft Surface Pro (versions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, X). However, the following adjustments are required:
Versions 3-4 require a Microsoft Surface Dock and 2 x Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters to work properly.
Versions 5-7 can take advantage of the Microsoft Surface Dock 2, which only allows one cable per screen (included with notebookwings).
Version 7 can also use the native ports to connect, but you'll probably want to use the charger that comes with your Surface to ensure the notebookwings are adequately powered.
Version X uses 2 included USB-C cables to provide video and power for the notebookwings' runtime. You will likely want to use the charger connected to your Surface to ensure the notebookwings are sufficiently powered.
Please note that the notebookwings cover the Surface's built-in kickstand, so the notebookwings' built-in kickstand must be used. All in all, while the notebookwings are compatible with the Surface Pro, we find that they are best used on a traditional notebook and not a tablet.
The notebookwings are compatible with all versions of the Microsoft Surface Book. However, adjustments are required:
Surface Book 1: This model has 2 x USB-A and 1 x mini DisplayPort. For the first display, use a mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter for video and a USB-A for power. For the second display, use a USB-A to HDMI+USB adapter, for video and power input.
Surface Book 2 & 3: This model only needs a USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter to provide video for the display. The rest of the ports work with the model's native ports.
