Dual Monitor Adaptors or Setup for

[pebbleshoe]

Hello, I bought the HP 14 (product 50V33UA) as an affordable device for school. I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to connect it to two external monitors, as I know that the USB-C port is data-transfer only. I am currently using the existing HDMI port for my first monitor connection. I already have tested the second monitor using the HDMI connection and it does work, so I know this isn't a monitor problem (at least with that connection type).

1. I tried to connect my second monitor (DELL) to the laptop using a USB-B cord to the USB-A port (I tried both USB A ports) but it didn't work.
2. I tried to use a Displayport - USB-C cord with a USB-A adaptor, but also this did not work. 
3. I suspect I need some sort of special adaptor to convert one of my USB-A or USB-C ports to enable a second display, but I need help identifying what to buy. I was looking for Universal Docks online, but they almost all use USB-C connections and I suspect they require Thunderports, which I don't have. 

Please help 😞

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

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter

For more connectivity, please use

                         True Universal Docking Stations

Many of the universal docks connect using USB-C and my port is data transfer only. Do universal docks still work for displays if connected that way or do i need to use an adapter for that too?
