The dual screen output is also selected in the Control Panel as part of the video display options. I don't remember. May be other display options on that page, although it does not appear you need them. That is how one might do same for other non-Dells.

On Dell Computers when you hit the FN-F8 combo, it cycles through 3 modes.
  • Only the Laptop's screen
  • Only the projector or external screen
  • Both
So if you tap the combination one more time, you should see it on both.
