HP Pavilion 15t
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So sorry.  I'm sure this has been asked a zillion times already.  

We  recently bought a Pavilion 15t laptop for my wife.  We love it but the number of ports is limited.  Two USB 2.0, 1 USB-C, one HDMI, and one RJ-45, and a card reader.

What is the most efficient way to intall two external monitors that will still leave her the use of the two USB 2.0 ports for her mouse and keyboard?

 

Thanks

@sickofhp1,

 

It is great to have you back and your patience is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for the information.

 

I checked the specifications of your computer see that the USB Type c port on your computer doesn't support the display and you need to use a USB Type C to HDMI or VGA adapter to connect the second monitor.

 

I recommend you try a Type C to HDMI or VGA adapter from a reputed brand and check.

 

Please refer to the below service guide for your computer for more information.

@sickofhp1,

 

Welcome to the HP Forums!

 

Thank you for posting your query on this forum, it's a great place to find answers.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I will need the exact model and the product number for your computer.

 

Meanwhile, going by the information you have provided, I recommend purchasing a docking station and connecting multiple monitors to the docking station.

 

If the port which is available on the computer is a thunderbolt type C USB port then it will support the display and you can connect a monitor to the type C port and the HDMI.

 

Hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
