Mutiple displays using laptop (34863)

[TheNewbie10101]

Hey so i have a brand new laptop and two new monitors, im trying to using only the two monitors as a display and have it extended so (example) i can look at information on one screen and a video on the other.
The problem is my laptop only has a vga and an hdmi port
And my monitors only have a vga and display port. I obviously can connect to one monitor using the vga.
Quick side note questions
1. If i use a splitter for the vga will it extend the displays or only duplicate.
2. If i use an hdmi port (somehow) and a vga, will it still extend the diaplays thanks

The splitter idea will only duplicate the display.
You could get an HDMI adapter like this:

to make it work.
To answer #2, yes. Use an adapter such as the one I linked to, and you will be able to extend your display over both VGA, and the HDMI -> DP hybrid.
