I would like to add a third monitor, via HDMI or VGA to my Windows 10 HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF desktop that already has two monitors using the only display ports on the desktop? In other words, I am wondering if there is a splitter or other alternative that would allow me to connect the third monitor that does not have a display port connector.
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my question.

@alc6 -- as an alternative, here is a very-good article: How to Daisy Chain Monitors (cablematters.com)
The first image on that web-page shows how the monitors are to be connected.
Note that one of your monitors will require BOTH a DisplayPort input port and a DisplayPort output port.

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, neither of my monitors have a display port output port. I was hoping to use another monitor that I have as my third monitor. I have never heard of daisy chaining monitors so it is worth keeping in mind particularly if I end up buying a 3rd monitor.
Thanks for weighing in.
