Connecting multiple monitors to Dell laptop?
I currently have a hub that allows me to connect 2 additional monitors. I’d like to connect 4 giving me a total of 5 with the laptop screen. Thanks for the help!

No windows restriction to 2 monitors. You can use USB-C if the port supports DP Alt Mode, which it likely does on a Latitude. DisplayPort can daisy chain, but there are monitor limits based on the resolution. If the monitor doesn't support daisy chaining, you can go for a MST hub instead. Dell does make a triple monitor dock, the D3100, it's USB-A. Runs on a DisplayLink driver, it would not impact your integrated GPU. In theory you could double up on an MST hub/daisy chaining via USB-C and the D3100 dock to hit the 4-5 monitor mark.

Which model Dell, A lot of that is going to depend on what the video capabilities of the laptop are.

I have a Dell Latitude 7430 with docking station that has multiple inputs. I was told I can convert USB C to HDMI giving me plenty of connections. However as I remember windows only supports 2 additional monitors?
