“I see some people are having trouble with VGA to HDMI adapter not working with Windows 10. 7 OK. I have 2 VGA Dell monitors that I am planning to hook up to the tower. They work fine on my current HP which is running Windows 7. Is this going to work?”

It has been my experience that HDMI is needed to get a desktop that fits on the monitor with readable text WHEN USING the ONBOARD chips. The Envy does not even have a VGA connection like a custom graphics card would offer. If you do use the VGA-HDMI adapter Windows won't know what resolution to optimize the desktop on the monitor. That is, a custom GPU card will offer more resolution options that are selectable. Win10 sets the monitor resolution auto-magically. One can buy a decent flatscreen monitor at Best Buy for under $125. Compare that cost against purchasing and rigging an adapter. Moreover, it has been my experience that Win10 with a VGA computer going to a digital input monitor gets bogged down trying to constantly optimize the desktop image to fit your monitor and you get aggravating experiences within the open, working windows as you refresh a minimize view -- the size of the widgets, text and graphics will fluctuate with usage when using the adapter.
