HP 14s laptop
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have HP 14s-cf3 laptop: https://store.hp.com/in-en/default/hp-laptop-14s-cf3006tu-3r496pa.html
I want to know if I can connect two external monitors to this laptop. I am able to connect one external monitor through HDMI port. Can I connect another monitor to type C port? I want two different screens appear on these two monitors, not same screen mirrored on these two monitors. 

I checked processor i3 - 1005G1 and intels page says it supports 3 displays. But how do I know if laptop motherboard and ports dont form any restriction on connecting two external monitors and that I can indeed connect 2nd external monitor to type C port?

If not through type C port, what other options I have for connecting two external monitor.

Its specs

 

           https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06693985

 

It ONLY has 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

  • Charge your machine
  • Connect to an external monitor with / without hub/dock/adapter

If you wish to have 2 or more external monitors (and notebook monitor - total 3), please enter your requirement on the following link and it will find for you few USB-A DisplayLink Certified options on market today including some HP products (you can select HP before Search)

How can we be sure that the laptop's SuperSpeed USB-C port does NOT support Alt mode? Is it just because the specs states nothing about it? Is the spec sheet only option? Or can we run some software to check the same? 

 

Also those "USB-A DisplayLink Certified " adapters have inbuilt graphics card / display adapter, thats why they work even with USB-A?
