Connecting Two External Monitors to Laptop

Posts: 1,130 Forumite
I have a Lenovo V110 laptop and it is currently connected via HDMI to an external monitor.
I now want to add a second external monitor to the set-up, so that the image is extended across both screens (vitally, I do NOT want to mirror the image on both external monitors).
The laptop has no USB-C port, only USB-A ports and one HDMI.
Is there any way to add the second external monitor? If so, do I need particular hardware to achieve this?
Thanks

Its quite an old model from the looks of it and doesn't appear to have any video over USB capability. No VGA from what I can see either.

This random site seems to have a lot of useful info. You do have to go down quite a ways to get past the shiny new tech solutions to where they talk about older kit.

There's some cheaper out there but they may / may not work too well. I've uses similar to this in the past successfully: StarTech.com USB 3.0 to Dual HDMI Adapter - 1x 4K 30Hz & 1x 1080p - External Video & Graphics Card - USB Type-A to HDMI Dual Monitor Display Adapter - Supports Windows Only - Black (USB32HD2) : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories0
