OT: Opinion

[Jeroen Elias]

Hi all,

On my job, the last couple of months I have dealt with installations of 
Windows 10 on Dell laptops (XPS13/15).
Each laptop is connected through USB to a Dell docking station, on which 
2 monitors are connected.
This way, the user can have 3 screens to work with :-)

Anyway, one magic action to get resolutions going the desired way, just 
log off and back on!
A reboot is seldom required.

Just my 2 cents ;-)

Regards,
     Jeroen Elias
