Windows 10: Is the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter capable of handling multiple screens?

I have an older Dell Optiplex 780, I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 a while back, and upgraded the RAM to 16 Gb a couple years ago. I am using a VGA port for one monitor older and a DP port for the new one. The system will not detect second monitor. I rebooted the system and now the screen mirrors but will not extend. The system uses a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. The driver is updated, Can I upgrade it or install a different driver? Do I need a new graphics card? Ideas?

:)
