Looking to use 2 monitors from motherboard

[Loftyyyyt]

Hi everyone.

I am looking to connect 2 monitors to my work pc but it does not have a graphics card installed. The pc in question is a HP Optiplex 3020 small form factor. The motherboard has 1 vga and 1 display port.

I am looking to run a VGA to one monitor and then use a display port to hdmi then hdmi to the other monitor and wondered if this would actually work. operating system is windows 7

Assuming the system actually supports dual-displays (I would expect it to), did you enable to secondary display (Win + P Keys)?

Shut down your computer. Connect both displays to the PC motherboard's video outputs. Start the computer back up and log in. Once your computer is booted up, press the windows key and the "p" key together (Win + P) and see if you get a dialog box that asks you Single Display, Duplicate, Extend, or Second screen only.

If you get this dialog, your system supports dual displays.
If you want to see the same thing on both displays, select, "Duplicate"
If you want to extend your desktop across both displays, select, "Extend"

That's a hell of a lot easier that digging through documentation for some obscure reference.
