Windows 10: dual monitors

I have a new hp pavilion. it has a vga and hdmi port. I bought a vga to dvi cable for the 2nd monitor. It won't work. I don't know if the vga is working and I can't reach anyone at HP except robots. Will the on board hdmi continue to work if I add a video card? One monitor to the mother board the other monitor to the video card?

Windows 10 Update - Now my dual monitors do not work

Hi,





One of the possible reasons why Windows 10 was unable to detect your dual monitor is an outdated or incompatible graphics driver. To best address your concern, we need you to answer the following questions:

• Which Windows 10 build are you using?
• Have you already tried performing the troubleshooting steps suggested by
  Mauro Cavallin on June 16, 2017?
• Are both of the monitors not working just like what the original poster was experiencing? If yes, have you tried disconnecting one of the monitors? What was the outcome?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We will be waiting for your response.

 

Dual monitor, Dual mouse??

Hello,

Please share this information to assist you better.

• How have you setup dual monitors?
• Are you referring to use 2 different mouse/keyboard with the dual monitor setup?

If yes, the mouse or keyboard may function same as one another. Since, it has to be connected to single PC/tower.

However, setting up 2 different mouse/keyboard with the Dual- monitor setup, it may not function separately for each monitor.

Let us know the status of the issue. We will assist you further.
