Dual Monitor Capability?
I am trying to set up two monitors, but am unable to detect second monitor when connected to USB-C or USB. Does my video card allow for two monitors? If not, is there a quick supplemental fix (excluding two monitors mirroring same display)?
Thank you

Most video cards have multiple outputs, but most desktops do not support video out over USB.
You've not specified the system model, but look on the spine of the video card -- there should be more than one output you can use.

And if all else fails, there's always a USB>HDMI or USB>DP video dongle. You can use either a USB3> or USB-C> dongle with whichever type video port you need on the other end.
Just make sure the USB dongle supports your version of Windows, and the "native" (aka: "recommended") resolution for the monitor to be attached to that dongle.
