does does Core™ i3-370M Processor (3M cache, 2.40 GHz) support multible monitors on a labtop.

I successfully added one monitor via vga connection and i have a hdmi outlet available, which i connected to a second monitor but windows 10 is showing the monitor but will not detect.

 

Thank you

Al is correct; you can only have two active monitors. 

In these old laptops, the HDMI and VGA connectors were implemented as an either-or, meaning that you can use one or the other but not both.

Sorry,
