  1. running 1 all in one pc with 2 extra monitors


    Hi


    I have go a hp all in one computer running windows 10 with a hdmi socket at the rear, i am trying to add 2 monitors from it i have brought a 1x4 hdmi splitter and 2 dvi to hdmi leads for the monitors.


    i have plugged them all in but 1 monitor is showing the same screen as the other monitor is there a way that i can have the 2 extra monitors as 2 separate so that i can have different files/documents on the main pc and on the 1st extra monitor and on the 2nd extra monitor.


    is this possible?

    :)

    How to list 2 monitors as 1 connected to 1 PC?

    So, I'm using this program called aster which lets you turn your one computer into 2. For some reason this program doesn't allow you to have 2 monitors on one workplace. Is there a way to list 2 monitors as 1?

    OS: Windows 10

    Processor: 64 bit

    Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

    I did as you suggested, but the problem was not resolved. Windows detects the monitors just fine, but I need to switch monitor 2 to be numbered monitor 1. The main diplay has not effect, as once monitor 1 is turned on monitor two looses display.
