i was literally on the floor ready to cry when i realized my PC only had one HDMI hole, thank you for telling me i can buy one you saved my sanity

0:47 This adapter is actually called a DP mini. My bad.

Forgot to mention: Once you download the drivers, go to your downloads, find it, and click the Huion download. You then want to close any drawing software u have open. A popup with a button should show, prompting you to install the driver. Click "install". Then click completing setup wizard. Once everything is done loading search for "Huion" on your computer by using the search bar at the bottom right of your windows desktop or searching the launcher on Mac. Sorry for not showing this crucial step in the video.

*FOR PPL WITH A DESKTOP PC:
If you have a desktop PC, you must plug your tablet into your graphics card. If the hdmi port is occupied by your main monitor, you will need to get a Display Port to HDMI adapter so you can plug it into one of the other available ports. I have a link to it in the description.

Thank you for this man! Now I don't have to spend another 2 hours crying and rubbing my two braincells together to figure why everything I touch breaks. Really appreciate it.

I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DID BUT IVE BEEN CRYING FOR AN HOUR TRYING TO SORT THIS OUT CUZ I SWITCHED TO PC OVER LAPTOP, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[FusRoMoose]

Thanks dude, saved me a LOT of headache.
ATTENTION!
If anyone gets their pc wallpaper and task bar appearing on the tablet but no programs do the following:
1. With your mouse drag the open window of the program over to the tablet
Or
2. Hit shift and the windows key and the right arrow key.

Hope that helps someone :)
