Question Connecting 2nd monitor through Motherboard

[jakobfromdk]

Hi, My parents recently let me borrow and old monitor that only has a vga port. My first monitor is connected through My GPU, but it only has HDMI ports. However, my motherboard (prime a320m-k), has a vga port. Is it possible to connect the monitor through the motherboard?

I have read a lot of threads/videos about allowing your second monitor through changes in BIOS-settings, however I haven't found a BIOS-interface that looks similar to mine and thus havent been able to change my settings accordingly. I am not sure that my motherboard has an IGPU.

I know that I can but a converter from VGA to HDMI, but I would like to save the money.

the motherboard does not have an onboard GPU, the CPU will. ryzen 1xxx series cpu's will not have a GPU and the graphic ports on the motherboard are disconnected.
which CPU do you have?

I have a Ryzen 5 2600

CPU does not have a GPU built in.
the ports on the motherboard are dead. you will need a HDMI to VGA converter, be sure its an active powered device.
there are two ryzens that have GPU onboard and they end with a G, the r3 2200g and the r5 2400g

Okay, thank you for your help.
I will look into buying a converter.
