Product: HP Slimline s3620f
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista

Hey,

 

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3620f. I'm trying to expand my desktop to a 2nd monitor to increase my productivity. The computer only has USB 2.0 ports. Just to be clear I'm NOT trying to duplicate my desktop to a second monitor but trying to STREATCH my desktop to a 2nd monitor so I can have two programs up at the same time i.e. Excel on screen one and Outlook on screen two. This is an older per I know the mother board is an Irvine. I'm looking for a usb adpater or a PCI card that fits my computer so I can use a USB 3.0 adapter to install the 2nd monitor. Can you help me? or if you know another way to do what I need to do that would be great also.

@Slimline01, welcome to the forum.

 

You can use a USB 2.0 video adapter.  If you want to learn which would be the best for your needs, you can use their Chat Live option to talk to a Tech.  They have always been extremely helpful for me.
