This guide explains the best and easiest ways to connect your Surface Pro device to one or more external displays using the most common connection options.
Connect external displays to your Surface
With the release of the Surface Pro 7, Microsoft replaced the Mini DisplayPort connector with USB-C. While the exact placement depends on the specific Surface Pro model, most have the USB-C port on the right side of the display.
Connect the cable and/or adapter to a compatible display and to your Surface Pro 7, 8, 9, or X.
Once you connect your external display, it will be immediately detected by your Surface Pro and you can use the second display.
