Product: HP compaq L2205wg
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

We bought a HDMI/VGA cable, but the monitor HP Compaq L2205wg is not recognized as a second monitor on a HP elite  laptop with Windows 11. Is there a way to solve that? I found old drivers for this monitor, but will that solve the problem? Thanks.

I don't believe you can use a HDMI to VGA cable unless it is a very expensive one that can convert a digital signal into an analog one.  Most cannot.

 

The monitor has 3 inputs (I have the same monitor, so I know its features) Display Port, DVI and VGA.

 

You need to either buy a HDMI to Display Port cable or an HDMI to DVI cable and connect that to the respective input in your monitor.

 

Windows 11 will automatically install a driver for the monitor once you get it working.
