Disabling the default action where your laptop enters Sleep mode when you close the display lid is a straightforward process in Windows and macOS. On a Windows PC, open the Control Panel, go to Hardware and Sound > Power Options, click "Choose what closing the lid does" on the left sidebar, and change the setting under "When I close the lid" from Sleep to "Do nothing" for both battery and plugged-in states, then click save changes. On a Mac laptop, keeping the system awake with the lid closed (clamshell mode) requires connecting the laptop to an external power adapter, an external monitor, and an external keyboard/mouse, allowing the internal screen to turn off without sleeping the system. You can verify success by closing the lid while keeping external peripherals active.
