I recently bought a Lenovo Y50 laptop (running windows 8.1) which doesn't have a VGA port, it has 1 HDMI, 2 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 ports. I'm trying to connect this laptop to 2 new HP 25" monitors.
Ideally, I would want the laptop's lid down and the 2 monitors to display content.
I can connect to 1 external monitor just fine using the HDMI port. In order to connect to the other monitor, I bought a USB to HDMI convertor from Amazon. Now this is the display that's not working for me.
Without this external adapter, I'm successfully able to connect 1 external monitor using the HDMI cable. I even tried changing the adapter to connect to the other monitor but still only the monitor connected via HDMI cable only, extends the display. The adapter that I bought may be found here:

Am I missing something stupid here? Should I assume that the adapter is faulty?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
