Hello, I'm thinking of trying to get my dvi-d to work by first using this DVI-D to DVI-I adapter:

And then linking it to a VGA monitor by using a DVI-A to VGA cable. Will this work?

DVI-D is didital only, and has no analog signal to adapt.
Adapters only work on DVI-I ports.

What you would need is a active converter that converts the digital signal to analog.

even though the sole purpose of a dvi-d to dvi-I adapter is to add an analog to the signal?

It can't add what isn't there.

How would it do that? Magic?

It just changes the connections, you want an active adapter. That converts the digital signal to analog
