How come i can't make the tv as primary screen fom my laptop?

[Dana246]

I use s-vhs cable to my HP laptom and it works just fine with the audio and
viewing but i can't make the tv primary screen. The button for it is not
"push-able". Is it not possible with laptops or...? In that case, does anyone
have a tip how i can open my games and use the tv screen without making it
primary?

Thanks for answers

This is usually only an option with PC desktop graphics cards.
laptops use an *on-board" chipset.
As we have no details of your HP laptop, what is usually the
option with laptops within control panel, is to select one or
the other, and change resolution for TV screen.
But laptops rarely allow for both output options together,
you either have output to TV, or on laptop screen - not both.
