Windows Central Question

I used and had windows 7 for the longest time and i was using two external monitors with my laptop. So basically my laptop screen was not being used, and i was using two external monitors. I upgraded to Windows 10 and now i cannot get back to what i was doing before in windows 7 just using my two external monitors. Ive tried going into display settings and detecting the monitor again but it keep saying that it has not detected any new monitors. So right now im using one of my external monitors, and the laptop monitor.

If I remember correctly Windows + X cycles thru connected displays.

I'll search around for a better answer.

Edit:
It's not Win + X
Try holding the FN key then pressing F8 for the external monitor options.

What if you connect one display at a time? See which one is detected and which isn't. Maybe you can swap cables too
