I used Remote Desktop every day on my iPad Air. I had to do a full reset due to major problems with the iPad last week, but Remote Desktop wouldn’t re-install. I’ve now discovered it’s because it’s for IOS 13 only now and my iPad can’t update to that as it’s too old.

How to use your iPad as second screen in Windows 10

To use your iPad as a second display, you'll need to install the SplashTop app on your iPad and on your desktop.

SplashTop is primarily a remote-access tool — it lets you use your Windows desktop from your iPad remotely for a subscription. But it also offers a screen mirroring mode for free.

Also make sure that iTunes is installed on your computer. SplashDisplay requires iTunes to make a connection.

1. Install SplashTop on your iPad and install the SplashTop XDisplay Agent on your computer.

2. Once all the components are installed, connect your iPad to your computer using a charging cable.

3. Start the SplashDisplay app on both your computer and iPad. After a moment, you should see your desktop appear on the iPad screen. It may be a little sluggish, but you should be able to use it like an ordinary second screen.

To customize the display, open the XDisplay Agent in the Windows taskbar. You can change the framerate and screen quality, as well as change the resolution.

Other ways to use your iPad as a second screen in Windows 10

SplashTop has the advantage of being free, but there are other apps you can use as well. If you encounter performance issues with SplashTop, you might want to try another app.

Here are two other popular apps for using the iPad as a second screen:

  • Duet Display. Like SplashTop, Duet is a wired solution, so you'll need to connect the iPad via USB. You need to install the Duet app for Windows and purchase the iOS app ($10) for your iPad.
  • iDisplay. iDisplay is a wireless solution — the iPad and your computer connect via Wi-Fi. You need to install the iDisplay app for Windows and purchase the iOS app ($15) for your iPad.
