If the HDMI is plugged in when the laptop is powered on, it *should* automatically recognize it, but I'm not entirely sure.

If you can successfully login to windows, press 'Windows Key'+P to access the Projector (external monitor) menu. In windows 8, you can then 'arrow down' once and press Enter to choose to Duplicate Screen.

In windows 7, you can do the same by 'arrow right' and pressing Enter.
