[Stephanie425]

How do I connect an HP Compaq LA2206x monitor to an HP Elitebook (intel vPRO17)? Is this compatible - yes/no? If so, what cord , etc. do I need? Please advise in elementary terms. Thank You.

What is the product number of your HP Elitebook?

To find the product number for your PC, click on the search icon on your Windows taskbar.

Type: System Information

The System information app should show up.

Run the app and the product number of your PC will be found on the System SKU line about 1/4 of the way down on the report.
