I have two laptops, one with Windows 7 and one with Windows 8.1. I also have a monitor connected to my Windows 7 laptop. So space is getting a bit cramped on my computer desk. This little program from The Garage makes it a lot less crowded..
When I got this program, I wanted to view the video to see just how to install it, but apparently the video is no longer working.
Here is how I installed it.
First I downloaded the program to each laptop and then installed it on my Windows 7 Laptop and then the Windows 8.1 laptop.
Once it installed I got the first setup screen and it asked if I had already installed it on the other computer.
When I clicked ‘No’, it said to keep this window open and finish the setup on the other computer.
Now on the other laptop I clicked ‘Yes’ and received the final setup screen:
Here I input the Security Code and the Computer name from the first laptop.
In order for the install to complete, I turned off the firewall for both laptops, just long enough for the install to work.Now I have this cute little desktop icon on both my laptops.
I really love this little program!
Your explanation really helped me. I spent more than an hour searching everywhere on the 8.1 computer for its security code. The way it was explained in the installation process and my subsequent web searches had me looking everywhere without success. I didn't realize the security code was generated by Mouse Without Boarders. Many thanks.
