How to set up dual monitors on Powerspec B686
We have been trying to set up dual monitors on our Powerspec B686 home computer.
It has a Micro-Star International PRO H610M-G DDR4 (MS-7D46) (U3E1) motherboard. There is only 1 display port and 1 HMDI input on the back. It does not have a separate GPU it has an Intel UHD Graphics 730 (MSI) dedicated graphics card.
We are unable to figure out how to get the computer to recognize 2 monitors. I've even searched around in the BIOS and was unable to find anything that indicated (at least to me) that one of the inputs was inactive or a setting that would allow both to be active.
Is there someway to get the computer to recognize both inputs so we can use duals monitors, or will I need to run a splitter off the display port????
Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much!!

You can't split it, so you would need to use DP for one monitor and HDMI for the other. It should be plug and play. If not, most likely you have a driver issue. Check Device Manager under Display Adapters and see if there's an error on the IGP.
