I have an HP Pavilion model 15-cs3073cl and trying to determine if there's a compatible docking station that would allow me to use dual external monitors. I'm aware I can plug a single outside monitor in, using the HDMI port on the laptop, in conjunction with the laptop's own monitor. However, I'm trying to find a way that I can have two external monitors hooked up simultaneously to the laptop. I've attempted using a docking station that connects through the USB-C port, and functionality works for everything but video; the monitors don't register being connected to a device.
If there's a simpler way to do this without a docking station that would be excellent as well. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you Banhien, the USB to HDMI adapter worked perfectly! I appreciate you taking the time to reply with such a detailed and accurate response! Before this, I spent 2 weeks on my own trying to track down this answer.
