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 port, I ordered a HDMI to USB adapter.
DISCLAIMER: I am nobody's idea of a tech person. The little bit I know, I've had to teach myself. I'm 60 yrs old. And while I have more tech ability than many of my friends who are the same age, I'm not anywhere close to truly skilled or knowledgeable. So, please be kind. Spoon feed me. I am perfectly capable of learning, but I just need a little help to understand the process.
I connected the second external monitor (technically THIRD monitor -- the laptop is 1, external LG is 2, and this is #3) using the HDMI to USB adapter. I went into display settings and clicked DETECT. It tells me that it does not detect the 3rd monitor.
I scoured YouTube, but there is nothing out there that addresses 1) Laptops that are 2) Win11 and 3) Will not detect a third monitor. /// There are plenty of videos regarding such for gaming machines and desktop computers. And there's a pretty good bit about Win10. But nothing for my exact situation.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. And, remember, I'm a little bit of an idiot. So be gentle with me
