I can provide you with general instructions on how to add multiple monitors to your Windows 10 PC, but I cannot browse the internet or access specific websites like "microsoft.com." Here's how you can add multiple monitors to your Windows 10 PC:

1. Check Your Graphics Card: Ensure that your graphics card supports multiple monitors. Most modern graphics cards do, but it's always a good idea to verify this first.

2. Connect Monitors: Connect your additional monitors to your PC. You can do this by plugging them into the available video outputs on your graphics card. Common video connectors include HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and VGA.

3. Detect Monitors:

   - Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings" from the context menu.

   - Scroll down to the "Multiple displays" section.

   - Click the drop-down menu and choose one of the following options:

     - Duplicate: This will display the same content on all connected monitors.

     - Extend: This will allow you to extend your desktop across multiple monitors, giving you more screen real estate.

     - Second screen only: This option will display content only on the second monitor, disabling the primary monitor temporarily.

4. Adjust Display Settings:

   - You can further customize your display settings by rearranging the monitors' positions in the "Multiple displays" section.

   - You can also adjust the resolution and orientation of each monitor individually.

5. Apply Changes:

   - Click the "Apply" button to confirm your changes. Your additional monitors should now be active.

6. Configure Display Settings (Optional):

   - You can access advanced display settings by clicking on "Advanced display settings" or "Display adapter properties" in the Display settings window. Here, you can adjust the refresh rate, color calibration, and other monitor-specific settings.

7. Customize Taskbar and Start Menu (Optional):

   - Right-click on the taskbar and go to "Taskbar settings."

   - Scroll down to the "Multiple displays" section and choose how you want the taskbar to behave on multiple monitors. You can have it show on all monitors or only on the primary display.

8. Adjust Individual Application Settings (Optional):

   - Some applications may require specific settings for multi-monitor setups. Check the application's preferences or settings to make any necessary adjustments.

You should now have successfully added and configured multiple monitors on your Windows 10 PC. You can drag and drop windows between monitors and enjoy the expanded workspace.
