Connecting a SURFACE PRO 7 as a monitor to a LAPTOP STUDIO 2.

Hi, I'm looking for help in connecting a SURFACE PRO 7 as a monitor to a LAPTOP STUDIO 2.

 

The matter seems straightforward and intuitive, and it is when I try to connect them the other way. The PRO 7 detects the STUDIO 2 without any issues, and in the blink of an eye, the STUDIO 2 becomes a monitor. However, the STUDIO 2 doesn't detect the PRO 7. I've already updated everything I could. I've restarted the computers, but unfortunately, nothing works.

 

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hi Szymch
    Which method are you using to connect this. I have successfully used my Studio Laptop 2 to use an older Surface Pro 5 as a second screen using Mirror Cast (project). I had to install the wireless display app (which is not installed by default) to allow the project to work.

    Is this the method you are using or are you trying to use a cable method?
    Thanks.
