Step 1: Power Up
Monitors require a power supply, so make sure you've got an available socket to plug yours into.
Step 2: Plug in your HDMI cables
PCs generally have a few more ports than laptops, so if you have two HDMI ports you're in luck. Simply run your HDMI cables from your PC to the monitors.
Your PC should automatically detect the monitor when this connection is complete.
If your PC does not have two ports, then you can use an HDMI splitter, which will allow you to connect using one.
Step 3: Extend your screen
Head to Display Settings (on Windows 10), select Multiple Displays in the menu, then Extend.
Now your dual monitors are acting as one monitor, leaving one final step.
Step 4: Choose your primary monitor and position
Typically, the monitor you connect to first will be deemed the primary monitor, but you can do that yourself by selecting the monitor and hitting 'make this my main display'.
You can actually drag and re-order the screens in the dialogue box, and position them in anyway you'd like.
