As i'm currently working from Home i'm trying to find out if my computer currently supports a dual monitor setup before i purchase another monitor.  If it does not support a dual monitor setup what would I need to buy to get me there. thanks.

@BetaPsi851 Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you would like to connect the two external monitors.

 

Do not worry. I will help you in this matter.

 

You have to use the HDMI splitter to connect the 2 external monitors.

 

Please have a look HDMI splitter cable.

 

You could purchase the part from HP, use the HP Parts surfer to identify the part: http://partsurfer.hp.com/search.aspx 

 

And order it via the HP Parts store: https://parts.hp.com/hpparts/CountryChoice.aspx?mscssid=&ccode=ZZ&lcode=ZZ 

 

Or alternatively, Contact HP for setting up an order/service via phone support

You can purchase cable on the local stores.

 

(HP does not recommend upgrades as the device is equipped with parts that perform at its optimal performance and also, the upgradeable parts listed in HP articles are purely for your ease, though the decision to upgrade will be at your own discretion)
