Hi @Foundprotector 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Yes, you can connect a second screen to your HP Laptop 15-fc0xxx using a USB to HDMI adapter, but it depends on whether your laptop supports DisplayLink technology or USB-C Alt Mode.

 

Steps to Connect a Second Screen:

 

1. Check USB Port Compatibility

  • If your laptop has a USB-C port, check if it supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (some models do, some don’t).
  • If using USB-A, you’ll need a DisplayLink-certified USB-to-HDMI adapter.

 

2. Use a DisplayLink Adapter

  • Install the latest DisplayLink drivers from DisplayLink’s official site.
  • Connect the USB to HDMI adapter to your laptop.
  • Plug the HDMI cable into the external monitor.

 

3. Adjust Display Settings

  • Open SettingsSystemDisplay.
  • Click Detect under Multiple Displays.
  • Set the display mode to Extend or Duplicate.

 

4. Try a USB-C Hub (if applicable)

  • If your laptop has USB-C, use a USB-C hub with HDMI output.
  • Connect the hub to your laptop and plug in the HDMI cable.
