Hi @Ef2126wm,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To determine if your HP laptop supports dual monitors and how to connect them, follow these steps.

Check Laptop Specifications

1. Model Information: Identify the specific model of your HP laptop. You can find this information in the system settings or on a label on the laptop itself.
2. Graphics Capabilities: Look up the specifications of your laptop model on the HP website or in the user manual. Ensure that your laptop’s graphics card supports multiple monitors.

Ports Availability

1. Available Ports: Check the ports available on your laptop. Common ports for connecting monitors include HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C (with DisplayPort support), and Thunderbolt.
2. Docking Station: If your laptop lacks sufficient ports, you might need a docking station or a multi-port adapter (such as the Microsoft Travel Hub).

Connecting Monitors

1. Direct Connection: Connect one monitor directly to an available port (e.g., HDMI or DisplayPort) on your laptop.
2. Using a Hub or Dock: Connect the second monitor through the Microsoft Travel Hub or another docking station. Ensure the hub is connected to a port that supports video output, such as USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode.

Troubleshooting the "Display Connection Might Be Limited" Error

1. Verify Connections: Ensure all cables are securely connected and the monitors are powered on.
2. Check Hub Compatibility: Confirm that the Microsoft Travel Hub supports dual monitor output with your specific laptop model. Some hubs may only support one external monitor.
3. Update Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers and BIOS are up-to-date. Visit the HP support website to download the latest updates for your laptop model.
4. Display Settings: Adjust your display settings in the operating system. Go to Settings > System > Display to detect and configure multiple monitors.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it’s possible that either the hub isn’t fully compatible with your laptop for dual monitor support, or there may be a hardware limitation with your laptop.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
