Sorry for my inexperience in this field.
Can someone please explain to a laywoman how the mentioned workaround can
solve my problem ?
At most meetings, seminars I partecipated in the speaker turne his/her
back to the big wall screen (projected image) as he/she has to look at the
audience he/she addresses. To spare the speaker from stretching his/her
neck, the speaker can see the same slide, which is being projected on the
wall, on the  monitor of the computer whose keyboard or mouse he/she uses
to select the next slide.
According to my little experience, laptops running Windows allow for the
slide to be seen by the audience facing the wall and by the speaker facing
the laptop monitor, at the same time.
I am a Linux fan. Nevertheless for PowerPoint presentations I believe a
plain Windows box is the right choice...

Thank you for your patience.
Maura
