Trying extend display on my laptop to two additional monitors, but the 2nd & 3rd  monitors just mirror each other. How do I get it to extend both, so I can use them freely

@Zimmermanwi Greetings from the HP Community!

To change the viewing mode on Windows 10, use these steps:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on System.
  3. Click on Display.
  4. Under the "Select and rearrange displays" section, select the monitor that you want to adjust.
  5. Under the "Multiple displays" section, use the drop-down menu to set the appropriate viewing mode, including:

    • Duplicate desktop — Shows duplicate desktop according to the description.
    • Extend — Expands the primary desktop to the display currently selected.
    • Disconnect this display — Turn off the selected monitor.

    Windows 10 expand monitor settings

After you complete the steps, you may need to repeat steps No. 4 and 5 to set the display mode on the remaining monitors.
Also, note that using these settings, you can make any of the monitors as your primary display.

The 3rd monitor isn’t being detected by my laptop, so it won’t let me extend the display. Do you think it could be my laptops graphics card? The laptop only detects 2 displays
