Way to extend display onto two external monitors from laptop

[rfroebe]

I am wanting to see the best way I can connect not one, but two monitors to my laptop. I want to extend the display, so I can use the two monitors with different displays on them. I got a little USB-C to HDMI adapter to allow myself to plug the 2nd monitor in (the first monitor, I got to work just fine after plugging into my hdmi port). But, I am not getting anywhere with the adapter. I am wondering if I need ot get some sort of docking station, but I am not sure what kind would work with my specific laptop.

The specs of your machine is

              https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06599980

It ONLY has 1 hopeless USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C™ (Data Transfer Only, 5 Gb/s signaling rate) port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

• Charge your machine,
• Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter (some hubs may have builtin chip to support this)

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only-total 3), you can use

• Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
• Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter
