I've connected to my primary monitor (Acer K272HUL) from my computer via HDMI. I've connect both of my monitors to each other using Displayport (Displayport Out on Monitor 1 to Displayport In on Monitor 2). However, my computer will not detect the 2nd monitor and the 2nd monitor cannot detect an incoming signal on the Displayport. Any suggestions on what is wrong?

The issue is my laptop only has HDMI and VGA ports, while my Monitor 1 has HDMI, DP in/out, and DVI and Monitor 2 has HDMI, DP in, DVI. What do you suggest is the best way to connect my computer to my 2 monitors so I can have a 2 monitor extended display?
