Not in terms of HDMI signals from a single source.

 

An alternative, if the laptop has unused USB ports is a USB-to-video-jack adapter.  I have one that connect the USB port to a VGA cable.  There are adapters that connect USB to HDMI, to DisplayPort.  You should look into these -- but these are not guaranteed to work, so be sure to buy from a source where you can easily get a refund.

I don't believe an HDMI splitter is going to work because you need an individual signal to each monitor, not a shared signal.


Regardless, if Windows does not see all the monitors, you are stuck as there is no way to force it to do that.

Thank you for your speedy answer, is there something I can buy that gives me individual signals from the 2 other monitors?
