Dual external displays with Stream 11

[MommaBeth]

Are DUAL external displays even possible on the Stream 11?  Running as it was originally configured with Win10 home in S mode.  All USB connections are "data transfer only", so that won't work (and I've already tried it).  There is 1 HDMI connection on the notebook.

I would like to help

The HDMI Connection on the Notebook should allow for using 1 external monitor for display

Use the following instructions to either extend or duplicate the desktop with a second monitor:

1. Right-click anywhere on the desktop.

2. Click Display Settings.

If only one monitor is showing in the window, first verify that the connections are secure between the monitors and the computer. Then, click Detect. If Windows does not recognize both monitors, click Identify. The numbers 1 2, or 3 are shown on the monitor icons to help you identify the monitors.

If Display, Resolution, Orientation, or Multiple displays selections in the Screen Resolution window are dimmed, not allowing you to make the desired changes, see; Configuring the display with the display driver.

3. Use the Multiple displays drop-down list to select one of the following options:

• Duplicate these displays: Show the entire desktop on both displays. 

• Extend these displays: Stretch the desktop across the two displays.

• Show desktop only on 1: Use only display 1 and show nothing on display 2.

• Show desktop only on 2: Use only display 2 and show nothing on display 1.

4.(Optional) To change the direction of the desktop extension (usually left or right to match how the displays are physically positioned), select a monitor and drag it to the desired position.

5. When done, click Apply.

Refer to this article to know more information about using two or more monitors.
