FAQ


Can I connect a touch screen monitor via display port or HDMI and make that the primary customer interface?

Absolutely! You simply have to open PBU and hit the Windows Key + Right arrow key. That should move PBU to the new screen. Alternatively, you could set the new screen as the "Primary" screen in Windows display settings.
