Pavilion 15-cs2073cl Dock/KVM with dual monitors (2023 Part 2)

[Greengecko]

Hello,

I have tried number of KVM docks with this laptop, but none has the main features I need, which are to support dual monitors and EDID emulation to preserve window positions when switching back and forth between two laptops.  As it is now, every time I switch, all my applications which are distributed across my two monitors get moved back to one monitor (designated as Display 1 in Windows).  I need to preserve window positions because I'm studying cybersecurity and need to have a bunch of different things open at once, and I need to them to stay in place when I switch between my two source laptops.

My question here is:  Can I use the HDMI port for one monitor and one USB port (using a USB-to-HDMI cable) for the other monitor?  The only docks that support EDID emulation require dual video inputs (either HDMI or DP), so I can't use the ones that use single USB video connections (like the StarTech 129N).
