    I have a 22 inch monitor and USB wireless keyboard & mouse. I would like to close the laptop and use these instead of having the laptop open to possible damage or dust.

    When I close the lid it goes into hibernation. Is there a way to close the lid and not have it hibernate so I ca operate it as a small desktop? I looked in the manual but didn't see anything related to this.

    Thanks!

    Got to the windows power options, then edit the power plan your on to do nothing when lid is closed. Connect to the screen first tho
