     I use a laptop and a USB screen in my living room as a standing desk when I'm working out.

     As I say, buy a machine with two ports and she'll be good. She's not day trading.

     This was $260 on Amazon
     Look at all the ports!

     It is running Windows 10 Pro but I dual boot to Fedora as my preferred OS

     It's also awaiting an update to 11 Pro.
     Just not bothering.

     I have a $200 Dell laptop that I left with Windows 11 pro but I don't really use it.
     I was dual booting Debian but the Dell graphics and Debian had issues.

     It's nice to have low risk options to play with and and have one good running machine.

     If I can get Jenny off the laptop and onto a full featured desktop, we'll be better off.

     Lappys suck, truth told. Unless you're a regional rep for some national outfit, why are you on a laptop?

     @PNS @MSP_SMIMSA @Jennypennymoon78 the machine you gave away had USB 3.0 ports?

     Yup. She's got a powered hub, so that takes one of them.

     This is a screen from the Amazon listing.

     This would suffice, yes?

     This is for the driver installer.

     Before this computer I had seriously never heard of a Display Port. DVI? Sure. VGA? Duh. HDMI? Who designed that shit? Why is it SO MASSIVE?

     But DP, that was a curveball.

     DP over USB-C is how portable monitors run with laptops and it's great.

     Hey you might know.

     I gave this Dell lappy to @Jennypennymoon78 and it's Win 10 Home or Basic or whatever that lowest tier is. Anyhoo, it has one HDMI port and Win 10 is retarded in that it will only support two displays, likely due to video card limitations, is there any way to either disable the native display (Registry or Device Mgr) OR using an expensive USB to HDMI dual port adapter to break it out to what will be two external monitors?

     @PNS @CattleBaron @Jennypennymoon78

     I see online answers saying Windows 10 can work with multiple monitors.
     Not clear what edition though.

     The question may be the on-board graphics limitation.

     Also this.

     Active vs. Passive Splitters: Ensure you’re using an active HDMI splitter. Passive splitters may not work properly with multiple displays as they typically duplicate the signal rather than extending it.

     You want to extend the desktop, not clone it.
