Adjust screen brightness
By default, Surface automatically adjusts screen brightness for the light conditions. You can change this or set the
brightness to whatever you’d like. Here’s how:
1. Open the Settings charm, and then tap or click Change PC settings.
2. Tap or click General.
3. Scroll to Screen and then set Adjust my Screen Brightness Automatically to No.
To manually adjust the screen brightness:
Open the Settings charm, tap or click Screen, and then move the slider to adjust the brightness.
Change other screen settings
You can use the Search charm to find more display settings. Here's how:
Open the Search charm, type display, and then tap or click Settings. Choose a setting from the search
results.
Connect Surface to a second monitor
You can connect Surface to a monitor so that you have two screens to work with. For info on how to do this, see
Connect to a TV, monitor, or projector in this guide.
Use the on-screen keyboard
Surface has an on-screen, touch keyboard that appears when you need it.
Show the keyboard
When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, fold back the cover like a magazine cover or remove it.
Now tap in a text field or other area where you can type. The keyboard appears automatically.
Important The on-screen keyboard doesn’t automatically appear if you’re at the desktop. Instead, you need to
tap or click the Keyboard icon on the taskbar.
If you want to open the on-screen keyboard manually (without tapping in a text field or other area where you can
type), here's how:
1. Open the Settings charm, and then tap or click the Keyboard icon at the lower right.
2. Tap or click Touch keyboard and handwriting panel.
3. Tap where you want to type.
