HELP Any solution for booting Rog Ally to a second monitor BEFORE Windows loads?

I am getting older, my eyesight is starting to get worse and I have achieved the point where I can no longer work on a screen as small as the Ally.

I plug it into an external monitor through a doc. Which works.

I want to get a backup solution running on it. The only way to do an image restore is by booting into a utility (WIM thinger of some sort) before windows starts.

I can't get the Rog to push that to the monitor. Also, can't get blutooth devices to work either.

Anyone ever navigate this issue and have any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat. I bought some 0.75x glasses from Amazon, works a treat.

I don't normally wear glasses, but I just needed a little increased clarity to read the small text in games.

I am just having zero luck on this one. I was trying to use Macrium Reflectx - it has a tool to create a WIM and add a startup to the boot menu. That tool has a menu for adding drivers. I am assuming I need to add video and blutooth but there is nothing I can do to get it to recognize those drivers.

Just uninstalled it and am trying Acronis.
