how to add second minitor for HP Pavilion 27-a071a All-in-One

[AddyB]

Hi. I am about to purchase the HP Pavilion 27-a071a All-in-One and would like to add a second monitor to it. Can someone talk me through how I would do this?  I already have a very basic Benq monitor that I would like to add to it. Can I do this through just a HDMI cable, or do I have to do something else?  Thanks for any help.

It specs says it has

• 1 headphone/microphone combo
• 1 HDMI
• 2 USB 2.0
• 1 USB 3.0 (Type-C™)

When not saying anything about HDMI port that means it is a HDMI out port and you can use it to connect to a second monitor with a HDMI cable. Worse case, you can use USB (2.0, 3.0 or even type C) adapter to connect.
