Hii guys,

First time posting on the forum, i'm just wondering if theres any way to make an external monitor as the primary screen on a macbook and the laptop screen as the secondary screen..? the current set up i have is mirror image of the laptop, but i want more screen room to do assignment without switching back n forth.. ><

Thanks so much in advice!!

Hello there!

It's actually pretty easy. If you go to your System Preferences ---> Displays

Now you should see the picture of both displays. On the picture of the laptop display, all the way to the top (within the picture) you'll see a grayish bar, just drag it to the external display and you are done!

Hope that helps.
