HP Notebook 17
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am inquiring on a couple of things:

 

1.  What is a compatible docking station that I can use for my laptop (if there is one)?

2.  Does the notebook have the capability of connecting dual monitors?

 

At my work location we are set-up with dual monitors running off of a VDI terminal.  We have been on WFH status for 3 months now and we were informed recently that we will not be receiving the 2nd monitor and VDI terminal anytime soon. They did ship us one monitor, however, it is not efficient.   So, I am trying to replicate that environment in my current WFH situation.

 

I need to know that my laptop is capable of connecting 2 monitors; it appears as though I may also need a docking station, so I would need to know which would be best suited for this set-up as well.

 

Appreciate any feedback!

 

Thank you

I don't know what is your HP Notebook 17 therefore I don't know which ports are on it. But I know for sure it has few USB 3.0 ports therefore all you need is to buy a Displaylink Certified USB 3.0 (also called USB type A or USB-A) docks.

 

The following one is an older and cheap dock (I know it works)

or newer
