Dual monitors supported on HP Pavilion 15t laptop?

[tomtomjs]

Hello. I have a Pavilion 15t laptop (9yf35av) with a NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (2GB) video card. Does that video card support dual monitors?

If so, how would I connect two monitors to the laptop? It has one HDMI port as well as one USB-C port. The USB-C port seems to have a (tiny) lightning bolt by it, but I'm unsure if that means it's a Thunderbolt. What are my options, either way? Thank you for any input!

15t is an CTO machine we don't have its specs and the code you supplied is invalid

The NVIDIA GeForce MX450 supports 2 monitors BUT what is/are available port(s). The (tiny) lightning bolt by it may means many things. We need to know what is its USB-C port.

Thanks, Banhien. I did some digging online and found out it has the following ports:

"1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 10Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge); 2 SuperSpeed USB Type-A 5Gbps signaling rate; 1 HDMI 2.0; 1 headphone/microphone combo."

Thus, it seems I can connect two monitors, one through the HDMI and one through the USB Type-C port. Is that correct?

Also, do I have to get a DisplayPort to USB Type-C cable, or could I instead use an HDMI to USB Type-C cable? I think I could use either, as one of my monitors supports both DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4. Would one be better than the other?

FYI: I plan to connect my other monitor to the computer via its HDMI port. This monitor only has DVI and VGA, but I already have the adapter that converts DVI to HDMI. (I might eventually replace this monitor, but I use my computer mostly for work, rarely for watching YouTube/Netflix, and never for gaming.)

p.s. Since it's an "HP Sleep and Charge" USB Type-C port, it seems the tiny lightning bolt is perhaps related to it being one that charges USB devices quickly, including while the laptop is in sleep mode.
