Extending Displays onto 2 Monitors (Wacom Tablet)?

I have an Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 graphics card on my HP Pavilion 15t cs-200 laptop and from what I've read, it supports up to 3 independent displays, but I'm not sure how to connect my 2 monitors to my laptop. My laptop has a HDMI port and an USB-C port, my first monitor has an HDMI port and a VGA port, and my other "monitor" (a Wacom tablet that comes with, and can use, ONLY an HDMI cable) has HDMI output/input.

I'm really struggling because the supported/unsupported combinations of HDMI/VGA/DVI/Displayport are confusing.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it!

According to what I can see on the HP site, the USB-C port does not include support for DisplayPort Alt Mode. This means that you have an HDMI output, which can support a single monitor. That's it. 

The one possibility to consider is using a USB 3.x port for display purposes. Here are some examples: 

  1. For 1920x1080 HDMI monitor: https://www.amazon.com/ABLEWE-Graphics-Converter-Projector-Compatible/dp/B07TT6WZ7V.
  2. For 1920x1080 (and 2K) DVI/VGA/HDMI monitor: https://www.amazon.com/External-DisplayLink-Converter-2048x1152-Compatible/dp/B07WZZK2FV.
