Hello,
How do I get my laptop screen to show on my monitor. The monitor is connected and if I move my mouse to the right of my laptop screen then the mouse will appear on my monitor

Hello vcoleman;

You want your external monitor to be identical to your laptop screen?

You'd want to use the Duplicate setting in Display Properites.
Connect external monitor to Windows 7 laptop

3. By default, Windows 7 will duplicate laptop display on the external display. Press Win + P keys to toggle display type among: computer only, duplicate, extend and projector only.
