There is usually a function key near the bottom of the keyboard. Holding this down allows you to use the extra funtions assigned to other keys on the keyboard. You should have little icons in blue or grey that represent the alternative functions for the keys. Find the function key that looks like a tv or monitor screen.
Once you find it press the Fn key and then hit that key to swith monitors.
