Connecting 2 Monitors

Trying to connect second
“HP Compaq LA1905wg Monitor” to this system,
“Windows 10 Professional,
OS Build: 10.0.19042.572,
Graphic card: Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset,
System type: OSType64BitX64, Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz”.
The machine is
“HP 8000 Elite SFF Desktop Computer”.
The first monitor is attached by VGA in the back of the machine. For the second monitor, it’s connected by a DisplayPort to VGA adapter, but it gets no signal. What else can I do? I’ve attached pictures of the adapter and cable and ports in the back of my machine.

There is no Intel driver for Windows 10 for the q45/q43 graphics chipset. All you have is the Microsoft generic driver, which LACKS features and performance.

Time for you to upgrade to a new(er) system.

What do you mean by newer system? New graphics card? Or new machine?
