Connecting two monitors to HP 17.3 inch Laptop PC 17-c1000

[KristiK28]

Is it possible to connect a monitor to my laptop with a VGA to USB adapter? On my Dell laptop, I connected one monitor through the HDMI port and used an adapter to connect the other monitor to the USB port. I can't seem to get that to work on my new HP laptop, but I don't know if my adapter is bad (it's about 4 years old) or if it won't work on this computer. Any advice?

What is your machine ? It could be one of the following machines

            https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-17.3-inch-laptop-pc-17-c1000/2100852827/product-info

which shows it has following ports

• 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate;
• 2 SuperSpeed USB Type-A 5Gbps signaling rate;
• 1 HDMI 1.4b;
• 1 AC smart pin;
• 1 headphone/microphone combo

Its USB-C port is hopeless. If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only), you can use

Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable

Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

Thank you for that information. Unfortunately that product is out of stock with no time frame of when it will be back. So I'll have to figure out a different solution.
