Hey @Lucy0167,

Welcome to HP Forums and Thanks for the post. 

I understand that you are looking to connect an external display to your All-in-one computer. 

Don't worry, I will be glad to assist you. 

Kudos to you for trying to troubleshoot the issue on your own.

Have you checked the specifications of your computer?

Does your computer have a display out port? (VGA/HDMI?Displayport.)

Does the USB to VGA adapter require any drivers?

Have you checked with USB to VGA adapter manufacturer?

For me to be able to assist you better, I would require the requested information.

Please refer to this article for assistance in connecting any external display. (Article if meant for Desktop but the procedure is the same of All-in-one computers.)

Please open device manager and check for any unknown devices. 

If you find any unknown devices listed with the monitor connected and powered on. 

Right-click on the unknown device and check for driver updates. 

Keep me posted.
