Windows 10: Need help with dual monitors

Hello. I cannot get a dual monitor setup to work for the life of me. I've made a LITTLE progress though by tweaking the BIOS to load from the Mobo VGA port first on boot, but now the second monitor just stays lit up with the windows 10 logo and nothing else, while the first still works just fine. Windows will not detect the second monitor, nor will extending it on the projector settings work. The main monitor is plugged into DVI on an old ATI Radeon HD 7700 Series card. Forget the exact model and that. I believe it's an H.I.S. Radeon. But I'm going through all the options and i'm scratching my head here. help would be appreciated.

EDIT The Radeon card I have only supports one DVI connection and one HDMI. Both monitors I have are VGA/DVI.

need help with dual monitors

Just got a used but updated desktop tower. I have two monitors and it shows the same thing on both. Windows will not detect the second monitor and I don't think this computer has graphic properties. So, I recently purchased a j5 creater usb to vga display
adapter for this to work- still doesn't work.

Need help.

need help with dual monitors

Hi,

A dual monitor set-up uses two screens which operate from a single computer – extending the visual workspace and allowing you to see a lot more at one time. By moving your mouse back and forth between the screens, you can drag programmes between the monitors
rather than alt-tabbing and task switching to glance at another window. To add multiple monitors to your Windows 10 PC, kindly click on the article below by

For any other concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

I'll happily be wrong, but I don't believe you can run one from the mobo and one from the video card together.

Disable the mobo GPU in BIOS.

Then get an HDMI/DVI adapter so you can run the second monitor off the card with the first.

 

Thanks for the response. it's actually working now from the onboard VGA slot and the DVI on the graphics. dont know what fixed it. maybe an automatic driver update somewhere who knows. but im not questioning it lol
