plugging them in is a good start and then you should be fine. That's if your computer can handle it.

I recommend plugging one through with a DVI cable which is going to be the white adapter that connects to the back of your computer.

For the other one use the HDMI.

it has to come from the same source, so either both from on board motherboard graphics or both from graphics card

Turn off your computer and monitor.

Locate the video ports on your computer.

Connect the second monitor to the unused video port.

Plug the second monitor into an electrical power source and turn it on.

Turn on your original monitor.

Turn on your computer.
