I have Aspire 7 A717-72G-76V1 and USB C to HDMI adapter, but the laptop doesn´t recognize it?

I need to use the USB c 3.1 gen 1 from my Aspire 7 A717-72G-76V1 with USB C to HDMI adapter but I don´t know if I need to do something more than just plug and play?

I've tried to search the internet but I can not find anything to tell me if I have to make any adjustments and until now I can not send the video signal through that port to my projector. When connecting the adapter the laptop gives a message that takes me to this page and I do not solve anything.

Can anybody tell me if the USB port C 3.1 gen 1 of my ACER Aspire 7 can support sending video with a USB C to HDMI adapter? and if that is possible, what should I do besides simply connect the devices?

Probably not. 3.1C Gen1 is really an ordinary USB 3.0 speed port but with a type C form factor. Jack E/NJ

As long as you're not expecting fancy multi-independent displays, 2 or 3 port HDMI hubs are less than $10. Jack E/NJ

Thanks JackE
Ok, so if I need to connect a monitor or projector but I have occupied HDMI and a USB port with mixed reality headsets, what can I do? On my laptop I still have 2 usb usb ports (traditional form factor) and 1 usb C (unusable for this porpuses).
