i know u can connect 2 monitors to pcs and they work. but they work only after windows loads. i have gtx 1060 6gb. can i connect one monitor to its hdmi port and another to dp port (through dp to hdmi converter), and will BOTH show content even in my bios? i currently connected one to dvi and other to hdmi, but the hdmi one ONLY starts/displays after windows loads. can i buy a dp to hdmi converter ...so will dp port along with dvi or hdmi show signal from BEGINNING/post. i have multi os on my pc and sometimes want to re-image the os from options in my bootloader. is this possible??? thanks.

it's not possible, the bios would only show on the 1st main display.
