I bought a usb C to HDMI adaptor so I can set up dual screens

The problem is I have 2 laptops one with USB C and one with USB A 3.0

I also bought a USB C to usb A Adaptor thinking I can use the same adaptor and switch it between laptops, so I can switch the cables from laptop to laptop and use dual screens

So
Laptop 1
USB C >> HDMI >> dual monitor (working)

Laptop 2
USB 3.0 >> USB C >> HDMI >> Dual monitor (not working)

My question is what am I doing wrong
Why when I use a usb C female to USB 3.0 male Adaptor to connect is to my laptop it doesn't work

What am I doing wrong
