Product: HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab254sa (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am currently using the built in laptop monitor and one external monitor connected via HDMI port. I wish to add and extend to a second external monitor and the only ports available on the laptop are the USB ports. Both external monitors have the following ports - HDMI, Display Port, VGA and USB3. What's the best way of connecting the second external monitor and will the graphics card work with the laptop monitor plus two external monitors? I've seen many cables, adapters etc but the whole thing is pretty confusing.
