How to set up 2 unique VGA monitors?

Question

I have this desktop, which has 1 VGA and 1 HDMI output ports, and two monitors with VGA inputs. If I get a HDMI to VGA converter, will I be able to have 2 unique screens, or will I just show duplicate screen unless I get some extra hardware?

Yes, a HDMI to VGA adapter should do what you want. There is no technical reason you can't have two different monitors connected via VGA to that desktop. Several different adapters are available, this one has good reviews and is less than $20.

Yes. Your PC supports dual monitors onboard.

If you have two VGA monitors, you'll need an adapter similar to this for the second screen.

Once they're both installed, Windows should recognize both screens and give you options for extending your desktop to the second screen or duplicating the first monitor.
