Oh wow I thought these were just adapters, not converters. That is awesome, I will give one a try and let you know if you solved it! Thank you so much!Hi and welcome to TSG,
You may need an HDMI to VGA adapter with built-in electronics, in my experience a simple cable will not work.

There are cables with both connectors but may not work correctly. I had some DVI to HDMI but they didn't work because of the type.Oh wow I thought these were just adapters, not converters. That is awesome, I will give one a try and let you know if you solved it! Thank you so much!
Yes I tested the HDMI export and it does work. I will definitely be trying one of the adapters, thank you for your help!Typically using the HDMI port on the computer should autodetect and output to the monitor, but since it's VGA it may not work. The adapter may be what you need.
Do you know for sure that the HDMI port on the laptop works? Do you have a console or media player that is connected to a TV that you can use the HDMI port for testing.
This totally worked!! I have a second monitor now, this is a legit game changer for me. Gonna save me so much time. Thank you so much, I don't think I would have ever tried this without your recommendation!Hi and welcome to TSG,
