DOES THIS LAPTOP SUPPORT USB-A TO HDMI CONNECTION -
I have seen other forums regarding connecting multiple displays, looks like I can not do it with a Hdmi to Dual HDMI adapter, or a Type C to Dual HDMI.
I have seen other forums with replies saying a Display Link certified USB-A to hdmi would work.
Trying to make sure for this particular model that is correct.
Display 1 - Hdmi Port
Display 2 - Usb-A to HDMI
So 3 indepentent screens, the laptop, and 2 external monitors.
HP 15-DY5073DX / 8l708ua#aba

If the dual HDMI adapter is a splitter that will not work -- as all it does is send the same video signal to two jacks. You need a separate signal for each monitor, which means each one needs its own cable from the laptop.

Yes the Hdmi splitter or usb c to dual hdmi does not work with this laptop.
I am trying to verify if this laptop supports a USB-A to HDMI adapter.
I know based on the specs that usb c does not support sending video.
So based on other forums I have seen it looks like they do -
Monitor 1 - Hdmi out
Monitor 2 - USB-A to HDMI
I need to know if this particular laptop supports USB-A to HDMI.

Sorry, I don't know. When I have done this with a desktop, I had to go through several USB-to-HDMI adapters before I found one that actually worked. You could try another brand or model adapter.
