Hello,

 

I have 2 screens both 27 ES with 2 HDMI ports and 1 VGA port.

 

Is there software out there or drivers to change the 2nd HDMI port into an output so that I can connect the second screen with the HDMI2 port from the first screen?

 

I know dell has this feature with special software and have been looking for a solution for my HP screens since my HP laptop does not have USB-C and just 1 HDMI connection.

 

thnaks in advance.

Hi

It's a hardware limitation.

I do not know the option you indicated, may be special equipment, but no here, there is no such possibility
I find this interesting, do you have a link about it?

Ok,

I admit, I looked quickly, but it is not at all the same system
So, no, your monitors  can't work like that

You may find adapters, which allow you to connect two HDMI screens, to the same HDMI port of the computer
But I can not certify the proper functioning
And you will only have the possibility to have exactly the same display on both, of little interest, for me
