Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro 8,2 that’s running windows 10 exclusively because of the GPU issue with this particular MacBook. The problem is that when I connect an external monitor, it is not being recognized.
Is there a way to get it to be recognized?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
In that 15-in MacBook Pro 2011 model, there is no path from the Discrete GPU to any external display. To use an external display, the Discrete GPU must be working.
"GPU issues" with that model typically resulted from the death of the Discrete GPU.
So, no, there is no recourse -- it's a Hardware issue.

I mis-typed, but I think everyone got the gist of what I was trying to say. It should read:
In that 15-in MacBook Pro 2011 model, there is no path from the Integrated GPU to any external display. To use an external display, the Discrete GPU must be working.
"GPU issues" with that model typically resulted from the death of the Discrete GPU.
So, no, there is no recourse -- it's a Hardware issue.
Thank you!
