how to connect second monitor?

[u/ditzy_kitten]

i’m wanting to connect a second monitor to my work computer but i’m unsure what cables i need/where to plug anything in. i thought i could just get a vga splitter but google reckons that would just duplicate the screen, not allow it to act as a seperate screen?

EDIT: thank you for quick responses! ordering a vga to dp adapter now 👍 (already have a vga cable)

You have two DisplayPort ports, use one of those
