I’m trying to dual monitor with two dell monitor. Ive been trying to use all sorts of different converters and still won’t work. My HP Pavilion Desktop 570-p026 says it has “dual displays perfect for productivity” but when I used my vga to vga or vga to hdmi it picks up the second monitor and realizes that there’s a second one. It just doesn’t display anything and on my monitor it says there’s no signal. I already have one monitor working because I’m using a hdmi to hdmi but there’s no other hdmi slots. Can anyone help?

That PC should be capable to run dual monitors.  Assuming that the wish is that each monitor has a different display, it would seem that since you are using the HDMI as one display already, that would leave the VGA out as the other choice.

Using a monitor that has VGA as an input and using the VGA to VGA cable should give you what you desire.

Since this is what you have posted as not working, please give more details and the monitor make and model.

 

A VGA to HDMI might work if the second monitor is HDMI also, but it needs to be an "active" adapter.  VGA is analog and HDMI is digital, so the signal needs to be converted, if you wish to have the second monitor to be HDMI, also.

Something like this:
