    I'm running windows 8 pro on my laptop and wonder if I can attach an external monitor to it, and if I can what must I do?

    Based on your laptops specifications your laptop has a VGA port so you can use that to hook up an external monitor.

    You won't need to configure the system much. You just have to connect the external monitor to the laptop and then verify that the image is at the correct resolution.
