Question Problem with using dual displays on a Netbook ?

I *eventually* managed to set up two monitor screens, but not quite how I had hoped. It runs my Netbook monitor, which is not really big enough for my purposes, and one external monitor. I wanted two external monitors. Or better, two plus the Netbook's screen..

Having it on the setting I need, which is Aspect Ratio, seems to mean that it doesn't give full screen, even though I set it to 'Full Screen'. When I had one monitor, it did the full screen as you'd expect it to.
Both monitors crop the display by about the same amount, oddly.

Also, I can't see any way to get two *different* image windows -- i.e. two different images) displayed, each on its own monitor. I am on Windows 10.

TIA.
 
Please pass on the make and model of your netbook as well as the make and models of the monitors and how they're tethered to said netbook.

Also, I can't see any way to get two *different* image windows -- i.e. two different images) displayed, each on its own monitor.
My understanding is that it's called, extended display mode.

Issue is your netbook might not support that many displays at full resolution. They’re typically very low powered and have limitations due to this
