Connect Using Cables
Before you configure the dual monitor setup, make sure you have all the cables you need to connect your PC and monitor.
Look at the types of ports you have on your computer, either on the sides or at the back depending on your PC. These include the video signal using HDMI, VGA, DVI, or DisplayPort, and the connecting power cables.
Do the same for your monitor, and if you’re not sure, check its make and model if you’re to know how to connect the display. You can find the ports at the back or underside of the monitor.
Note: The video connection on your PC must match that of your monitor. If your PC only has the DVI connection and your monitor doesn’t have one, you can use a converter cable or special adapter.
