I need to know if I am able to set up more than one extra monitor to this computer. I already have an extra, but I am wanting to set up a 3rd monitor. Am I able to do this on this computer? If so, what do I need to do in order to do it? The back of this computer only has one HDMI port and the second monitor also only has one HDMI port. I have considered getting an HDMI splitter, but I don't want my displays mirrored. I only want to be able to extend all three of the displays. I dont want to start buying extra monitors and parts that won't even work if the computer is not capable of having more than one extra monitor.

You can project your laptop to any WiFi enabled system such as TV or Monitor with WiFi adapter
Some TV are smart but others need a wireless display adapter dongle such as ROKU
This link here gives instructions on adding a laptop to desktop as a monitor or vice-versa using Wi-Fi
Android can also do this as shown here
Once you are projecting on the screen you can select "mirror" or "extend"
This will either duplicate the screen or give you a second display.
Note that WiFi will lag. A USB2/3 adapter will also lag but not as bad as WiFi.
You would not want to project a game to a larger monitor using WiFi but it would work nicely for web browsing, Office apps or anything other than a first-person-shooter game.
If you get a USB adapter be sure to read the reviews. Do not get an adapter that mentions thunderbolt as that means your laptop needs to have a thunderbolt port.
HDMI splitters give identical images. Only thunderbolt ports and some advanced display ports allow monitors to be daisy chained.
