Hiii I have a problem... I just bought a vga cable so I can transfer my Windows 10 screen onto my Emerson tv screen. But when I plug it in, video does not come up. I have gone into settings and made sure everything is good, what now? Also, my Computer used to have Windows 7 software, I only got the free 3GB upgrade to Windows 10. It is also a TOSHIBA laptop. Please help me!
 
Number 1 - the television might need to be set to receive a VGA or HDMI signal, depending on the cable you're using. Check the remote for an Input button.

No. 2 - there will be a Function key with a monitor on it - probably F5 to change to an external display. The next one along will be to return to the laptop's own screen.

You might need to use the Fn key to the left of your spacebar when you press F5 or 6.
