Once you have the name of a product (in this case Vidock courtesy of mcnumpty), you can check for yourself!
 


you dont need an external monitor if your graphics has nvidia optimus

if it doesnt then you do need the external monitor

 


as mi1ez said

i cant do everything for you

but heres another link with more detail and videos

after that its up to you to do more research
