Hi all,

I've just bought a 27" monitor and was hoping to extend the display from my 13" Macbook Pro (2011/12).

When I boot in Windows it only gives me the option to Display on 1 / Display on 2 or duplicate displays. There is no option to extend?

I spoke to Apple Support who said that I should install the latest graphics drivers (Intel HD Graphics 3000) which I did and it hasn't made any difference.

I'm using a HDMI to thunderbolt cable which works with my 27" iMac and extends perfectly on that whilst booted in Windows.

Has anyone had a similar problem and been able to resolve it or could anyone possibly help me? It's so frustrating!

Olly
