    There are many versions of the HP ProBook, it depends on the graphics card(s) installed on your laptop and also the available video ports, I need more information about your laptop model.

    Click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.

    An HP ProBook with an Intel Core i7 can technically support multiple monitors, but the exact maximum number depends on the specific ProBook model and its display adapter (graphics card) and ports. That information is not in the provided context.

    From the available guidance:

    • If the device has only one video output port, it natively supports only one external monitor. To use more than one external monitor, one of the following is required:
      • A compatible docking station for the PC.
      • A USB-C adapter that provides an additional video output port, if the device has a USB-C port.
    • If more than one external monitor is connected but only one works, the display adapter may not support more than one external monitor. In that case, the manufacturer’s documentation for the specific ProBook model must be checked to see how many monitors the graphics hardware supports.
    • Display splitters that duplicate a single video output cannot be used to extend the desktop to multiple independent monitors; they only mirror the same signal.

    To summarize what can be done with the information available:

    1. Confirm how many physical video output ports the ProBook has (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C with video, etc.).
    2. If there is only one, plan on using a docking station or USB-C video adapter to add more outputs.
    3. Check HP’s specifications for the exact ProBook model to see the maximum number of external displays supported by its graphics adapter.
