Hello,

As we are continuing to work from home, I am considering upgrading my personal desktop computer to a model that would allow a dual monitor connection. I currently have the following setup.

Windows Surface Laptop (work computer) connected to a Surface Dock
HP Slimline Desktop
I have a KVM switch that is connected to both systems for Monitor 1. I can switch between the two fine. Monitor 2 is connected directly to the Surface Dock to allow dual screen use.
The desktop is only allowing one screen because of the lack of an additional video connection (thus the need for upgrade).

I want to be able to use both systems with dual monitors. I am considering replacing the desktop with another desktop that will have HDMI and VGA ports. Is there a KVM that I can get for a reasonable price to support this setup?
 
sorry, the KVM switch I have has PS2 ports, it's that old.
I ditched dual systems and KVM switches for VM machines ages ago.

I'd only be Googling anything you would need - so I'll tag out.
