Default Dual Monitor setup

I have my TV in the living room set up as a secondary monitor, but i want it to "clone" my primary.

As of right now, i can only make it a extension on the side...

How do i make it clone the primary?

On a PC, can't you click and drag the number 1 box to the other side of the number 2 box in the display settings?

On a Mac, you drag the menu bar from one monitor box to the other, in the display settings. o:

Found it, you have to do it through your video card settings.

You would think windows would have the option to do it though.

Thanks guys

but you can't do clone through windows, you have to use the video card driver to do that.
