HP ENVY Desktop PC TE01-2000i (1K4E8AV)

I am trying to run a dual monitor for my desktop for work.  It only has 1 HDMI port on the back, no other video ports.  What would I need to do to hook up 2 monitors and use the second as an extended display?  


Am I able to put a new graphics card in since the current one is built in to motherboard if I am not mistaken.  

I am not looking to use this for gaming, but for work and my business.  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its specs

 

          https://support.hp.com/rs-en/document/c07570307

 

Its motherboard:  https://support.hp.com/rs-en/document/c07119829 which says it has 2video out ports at its back

 

 

  • (1) HDMI 1.4b/HDCP 2.2 port
  • (1) VGA port

 

You can connect to TWO external monitors using

 

M1: HDMI port,

M2: VGA direct, no adapter (middle man).

 

Motherboard also has a slot for a video card  BUT

note:
Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.

I ordered this .   Doesn't work at all.  Keeps flashing on the screen HDMI then Analog.  Just realized I bought the wrong one.  So just get a VGA plug on both ends?  Or buy a new graphics card?
