2 external Monitors, Surface and Monitor 1 duplicated

[tpk]

Hi,
I have the surface 3 with docking station and two external monitors (connected with mini display port - dvi cables). I manage to have 3 independent monitors (including the surface), but I'd prefer to have two duplicated monitors (the surface and monitor 1) and then extend to monitor 2. In that way I could use the touch srceen of the surface as a "second mouse". Is there a way to achieve this?
