Product: HP Notebook 15-dy1023dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My USB-C will not allow a monitor to connect to my laptop via the docking station. The HDMI port supports one. Can I use a USB-a to run the other, and if so what kind of USB-A are compatible with this notebook? I have two monitors plus laptop screen that I am trying to connect.
