@Melly7117, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
 

Setting up your HP laptop to use two external screens can greatly enhance your productivity! Here are the steps to get you started:

Check Your Ports: Ensure your laptop has the necessary ports to connect two external monitors. Common ports include HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, and VGA.

Gather Your Equipment:

• Two external monitors
• Appropriate cables (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, etc.)
• Optional: A docking station or multi-port adapter if your laptop has limited ports

Connect the Monitors:

• Direct Connection: Connect each monitor to your laptop using the appropriate cables. If your laptop has only one HDMI port, you might need a USB-C to HDMI adapter for the second monitor.
• Docking Station: If using a docking station, connect the docking station to your laptop and then connect the monitors to the docking station.

Configure Display Settings:

• Windows Settings: Right-click on your desktop and select "Display settings."
• Detect Monitors: Windows should automatically detect the connected monitors. If not, click "Detect."
• Arrange Displays: Under "Multiple displays," choose "Extend these displays" to expand your workspace across both monitors. You can drag and arrange the monitor icons to match their physical setup.
• Set Main Display: Select the monitor you want to be your main display and check the box that says "Make this my main display."

Adjust Settings: Customize resolution, orientation, and other settings to suit your preferences.
