Scrcpy

This is how you use your laptop as an external keyboard and mouse, to control an Android phone.

Apps, and other resources

The app is installed on the Windows side only; nothing needs to be installed on the Android side. (Which is to say: Don't look in the Play store. And if you do, there are fraudulent apps that mislead people.)
