Switch to your new Chromebook

If your Chromebook is brand new, you should transfer all of your important files from your previous computer and set up the new one as soon as possible. That way, you'll have everything you need to get started with work or school, and nothing crucial will be missing from your documents. Before you do this, however, make sure to back up everything from your old device.

Expand your work space with an external monitor

Working on a single screen can be restricting. To streamline your work process and make multitasking easier, you can connect your Chromebook to an external monitor. Mirror your screen to share with other workers or enjoy the benefits of a bigger screen, or extend the desktop to multitask and increase productivity.

If you prefer an HDMI connection, you an use a multiport adapter. Just connect the adapter's USB Type-C cable to your Chromebook, and then connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the adapter. You can find the multiport adapter on our website.

Connect to a network

Unlike other computers, Chromebooks require an internet connection to make the most of their basic apps or programs, such as Google Docs or Drive. You also need a connection to connect to your Google account. Make sure your Chromebook is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network, so you’ll be able to use your favorite apps as well as browse the internet.

Alternatively, you can connect the Chromebook to a wired network using a multiport adapter. You'll need to connect the adapter's USB Type-C end to your Chromebook, and then connect the ethernet cable to the network port on the adapter. If you need a multiport adapters, check out Samsung.com.
