Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I'm trying to connect two Dell monitors to the G5 dock and my new laptop. The monitors have HDMI cables, and the dock only has one. I have one of the DirectLink cords. Will I need another one in order to connect both monitors? Right now, I can only get one to work only if it's directly connected to my laptop. Please be gentle, I'm not that tech savvy, but I'm trying. I need to know what to plug in where on the docking station and the laptop. I appreciate your help.

The dock has 1 HDMI port and 2 DP ports. You can use DP to HDMI cable to connect to external monitor.

 

BUT, the dock in NOT compatible with your machine therefore you will have some hiccups.

 

Regards.
