using my laptop as a monitor

The only way you can do that directly is if your laptop has an HDMI input port which most do not.

However if you have Windows 10 you can stream your Xbox to your laptop and use your Xbox One Controller if you are on the same network with both. Check that out here:

Windows 10 Stream/Miracast

You won't need a high spec Laptop to use the Xbox One features of Windows 10. Any PC capable of Windows 10 will be able to use those features - including Xbox game streaming. Nor will you require an expensive laptop to use iTunes and DJ software. Pretty
much all modern laptops have HDMI out.

 

In windows 8 you need to right-click the file in windows explorer then select play-to then select the xbox one. Although I've only ever done this with music. I've never tried it with video.

I'm not sure if this can be done in earlier versions of windows though.

It is not possible to pull files from your computer like you could on the 360. It's only possible to push files.

 

thanks god everybody has windows8!
