Here are some helps: [Connecting The Onefinity CNC To A Network](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/connecting-the-onefinity-cnc-to-a-network/1032) This next one says it connects with HDMI but the writeup is all about ethernet. I have never done this but I’m sure it’s doable. [How To Connect To The Onefinity Controller Without A Screen Directly Connected Via The HDMI](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/how-to-connect-to-the-onefinity-controller-without-a-screen-directly-connected-via-the-hdmi/6705) Here is another one on direct connection. [How to directly connect your Onefinity CNC to a computer/laptop (no screen present)](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/how-to-directly-connect-your-onefinity-cnc-to-a-computer-laptop-no-screen-present/9248) One thing that sold me on the onefinity is there were so many ways to connect to it. I had to use the onefinity supplied screen at first to get the wifi settings put into the controller. After that I got a wifi extender for my shop and have connected with my laptop ever since. I use the laptop to load files to the controller mostly. I have never had to use a usb stick yet. Keyboad and mouse work fine, all things on the controller are available to you. I would not get rid of the 10.8" screen connected to the onefinity though. It is more convenient when you are standing there to work the play/pause button. ( it is not nice for typing on though ) Hope these help. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/will-onefinity-work-with-laptop-with-xp/10977)._
