    Question Dell Inspiron 16 7610 - I need to have 2 external HDMI monitors in addition to the laptop

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O0M46KO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Will this docking station allow me to do this? My husband's Dell 16 7610 needs to use the monitor that is built in, plus he needs 2 more monitors connected with HDMI. All of these devices are less...

    Question I can't install a 3rd monitor to my new Dell Win11 laptop

    PLEASE READ I think that in trying to add as much detail as possible, I might have somehow taken focus off of the real problem and question. PROBLEM: WIN-11 will not recognize a THIRD monitor for the Dell laptop. The LG monitor in question functions great -- as a SECOND monitor. No...

    Question I can't install a 3rd monitor to my new Dell Win11 laptop

    No, it does not. But -- I think somehow people are losing sight of the real question. All of the hardware --- laptop, monitor, etc -- have all been in use for a while and function quiet normally. MY DELL LAPTOP WILL NOT PERMIT ME TO ADD A THIRD MONITOR. This is the problem. The LG...

    Question I can't install a 3rd monitor to my new Dell Win11 laptop

    Also, If there is a way to make this work with the equipment I have already purchased, that would be great. Yes, I understand that you are telling me "I can just...". Fine, for next time. But if there is a way to work with what I have, it would be really helpful.

    Question I can't install a 3rd monitor to my new Dell Win11 laptop

    Thanks for the info, but as I said, I am a little bit of a tech idiot. I'm sure there's significance to what you just said, but I don't know what it is. BUT --- The monitor works FINE when it is just the SECOND monitor. However, when I try to make it function as a THIRD monitor --- the Dell...

    Question I can't install a 3rd monitor to my new Dell Win11 laptop

    It appears to have something to do with the fact that it is connected through a USB port. EXAMPLE: When I connect the LG monitor in question to the HP Envy via HDMI only, there is no issue. When I use the HDMI to USB adapter, it recognizes that there is something connected via USB, but does...

    Question I can't install a 3rd monitor to my new Dell Win11 laptop

    Sorry, should have clarified that. 1) MONITOR -- Yes, the monitor works fine. It is brand new. I bought it just a few months ago. I have another laptop, an HP Envy. I used it with that laptop just fine. (Also running Win11) // 2) The HDMI / USB adapter -- it is brand new ordered from...

    Question I can't install a 3rd monitor to my new Dell Win11 laptop

    I have a new Dell laptop with Win 11 (came with it). I easily installed a 2nd monitor (LG) (New). No problem. It is connected with an HDMI cable, no issues. Easy peasy. BUT -- Now I would like to install a THIRD monitor -- also LG, also new. Because I have only ONE (as is typical) HDMI...

    Question New Dell came with Win11, bought in US, Need to use Maxell Spanish Keyboard, Won't play nice.

    Yeah, that was the obvious. We did this to the best of our ability. We followed the instructions as we understood them. That didn't do it.

    Question New Dell came with Win11, bought in US, Need to use Maxell Spanish Keyboard, Won't play nice.

    We just bought my hubby a new Dell laptop with Win11. BACKSTORY -- We now live in Panama. My husband is a journalist who writes with native fluency in both English and Spanish. As a result, it is easier for him to function with a Spanish keyboard. I'll put this in bullet points to hopefully...

    Question MagicJack app for Android phones

    I have been using a MagicJack for years. It's the greatest thing since peanut butter. My husband and I both have the MagicApp for our iPhones so that we can use our MagicJack number on our mobiles. I had an extra MagicJack, brand new, still in the original packaging, and I gave it to our...
