Hi 

I have an acer predator laptop. I need a 2nd monitor but it only has 1 hdmi port. I read up that the usb type c can be used to display so I bought a usb type c to hdmi adaptor. When I plugged it in it did not work. Is there a driver that I can install to get it to work? Do I have any other options to get another monitor working?

Thank you

    USB to display would be supported only on the USB 3 port, but you would need specifically designed hardware with its drivers for that. I too read about this, but never tried any. The hardware comes bundled with necessary drivers.

    You cannot output video from usb-c on certain models, most likely including this.
