Product: HP EliteBook 8570w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Is it possible to run two monitors on a 8570w without a docking station. Connecting one monitor to the VGA port and the other to the display port.

I was able to get this to work. My 8570w has an Amd Firepro 7700, dont know if that matters. One is connected VGA the other Displayport. The Display port monitor had to have a custom resolution set in the firepro control panel. other than that it is working flawlessly. Laptop Screen plus 2 24 inch Dell's NO Docking Station.

 

And thank you Provost for the quick response.

Yes but you likely cannot also have the laptop screen on and will have to close it to get output on the 2 monitors connected externally.
