Dual Monitor Set up on Windows 10

Anonymous

Recently purchased a new Desktop PC and installed Windows 10 and i am having difficulty connecting a second monitor, all the troubleshooting guides i have looked at so far say right click on desktop and go to " Display Settings" firstly that option is not available when i right click.

I then go via the menu to settings and choose " Display" troubleshooting then tells me to click on the " Multiple Display" drop down menu and select the desired option, my issue is i dont have a drop down menu, all i have under Multiple Displays is " Older displays might not always connect automatically. Select detect to try and connect them" when i press " Detect" i just get a pop up saying " Didnt Detect another Display" hope someone can guide me to a solution, i am not very PC savi so it might just be a simple fix . Thanks Glyn
