HP ENVY Laptop 17m-bw0xxx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like to connect two HP Monitors to my laptop (for a total of 3 connected)

I don't need to see the screen on the laptop.  I just want larger screens because I work from home.

What EXACTLY is your HP ENVY Laptop 17m-bw0xxx ? For example HP ENVY - 17m-bw0013dx , its specs

 

     https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06038594

 

Probably your machine has same following ports

 

  • 1 HDMI 2.0;
  • 1 headphone/microphone combo;
  • 1 RJ-45; 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge);
  • 3 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (1 HP Sleep and Charge)

 

The USB-C port is a big question mark because it does not support Alt mode and many members have problem when connect it to a monitor. Option

 

If you wish to have 2 or more external monitors, please enter your requirement on the following link and it will find for you few options on market today including some HP products:

I'm not sure where else to look for the exact name.  When I open the "About" in my PC, the device specifications  reads "HP ENVY Laptop 17m - bw0xxx".  I do have all the ports you mentioned below.  I'm going to order one of the HP docking stations that it recommends.  I will come back and give feedback asap.  Thank you so much!
