I have two monitors. One is the old hp 185e monitor. The other one is the HP 22es monitor. I tried plugging this into my newly built custom PC. Im using VGA for the older monitor and hdmi for the newer one. If I add both of them together only the old one works. If I take out the old one the new one works. Both just wont work together. I tried to look around windows 10 to see if it would detect the monitor but it said that the older one is the only one it noticed. The newer one says that theres no imput coming to it. Why is this happening. Plz help

You always need a gpu driver no matter if it's integrated or a dedicated card. Usually windows update will get it and without a driver only basic functions work which includes only 1 monitor support. So yes, get the driver.

Im sorry I forgot to mention that I dont have a dedicated graphics card. I use intel hd graphics. I have a i3 6100 which says it supports up to 3 monitors with its intel hd 530 integrated graphics.
