Hi @Watt77,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand the HP 15-dy5073dx Laptop PC does not support USB-C DisplayPort (DP) Alt Mode. This model includes a USB-C port, but it is primarily for data transfer and charging rather than video output.

If your laptop lacks USB-C DP Alt Mode support but you want to connect multiple external monitors, here are your options:

1. HDMI Port:

• Your laptop likely has an HDMI port that you can use to connect one external monitor.
• Check the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by the HDMI port (typically 1080p at 60Hz for this model).

2. USB Display Adapters (Docking Station):

• Use a USB-to-HDMI or USB-to-DisplayPort adapter. These adapters work via USB-A or USB-C ports on your laptop and support external monitors.
  you can shop from the HP Store Help
