Hi I have this laptop
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz 1.19 GHz
Installed RAM 16,0 GB (15,7 GB usable)

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Windows 10 Home
The laptop has a HDMI slot but I cannot connect my HDMI monitor to it. It is not detected. I would like to connect 2 extrnal monitors to my laptop. Has anyone got any advice how to do this?
I have updated the video card and the pc is updated, and still nothing with the HDMI
thanx

I assume you are projecting your screen to both displays (either duplicate or extend) after connecting the hdmi cable….

why does your laptop need to project to two screens, is it a temp option that only runs for 10 mins then gets packed into a bag to go home or a more permanent scenario?

Docking station works perfectly. I have 3 monitors connected to my laptop. Everything 100% stable: for the first time in ages.
