Monitor

I purchased my Dell Inspiron from you a few years ago. I just recently bought a Dell monitor. I am trying to do different things on the monitor and laptop at the same time but can only do 1 thing on one or the other or have the monitor mirror the laptop. Do I need a special HDMI cord to do this?
