    Windows lets you add a second or a third monitor (if two VGA ports available) in your PC. In fact you could add more of them, and, since it is said that multiple monitors could greatly enhance your productivity, you might find that you can work more efficiently with them.

    There are many options available in Windows 7 to enhance your multi monitor experience. For example, you could use the second monitor to duplicate your desktop or use it as an extended monitor. You could even connect your laptop to a big TFT when you’re at home.

    How to set up multiple monitors on a desktop computer

    First, check the number of VGA ports at the back of your computer. If you find two VGA or DVI ports then you can easily set up one additional monitor. However, if you don’t find an extra VGA port then you would need to add a video adapter.

    A video adapter having more than one VGA port is easily available. Install it if you want to add two or more monitors in the current arrangement.

    If you don’t know how to add a video adapter to your PC , then you should get the help of an expert.
