    You need to invest in an HDMI-to-USB card converter to essentially stream the games to a PC or chromebook like Netflix. Less than $50usd at concessionaires like A mazon. There may be cheaper ones but this has good ratings.

    Yes, you need to jump through hoops like that in order to display your Switch output on the screen. Your Aspire C24-420 doesn't have an HDMI-In port, so really isn't designed to act as a monitor for a different device.

    >>>how will i use this after i get it?>>>

    It should be plug and play. So it should be easy to setup. It also should have a quick start guide. You must get the device first. Because without it the NintendoSwitch won't work on a chromebook or PC.
