Works great after configured correctly
This docking station is exactly what I needed. I have a Lenovo Yoga 910, and after doing a lot of research, I wasn't sure there was any way for me to be able to extend its display to two external monitors. Then I found this docking station. Still unsure whether or not it would work, I contacted Plugable support and received a prompt response confirming that it would work with my laptop as desired. I've now received my docking station, plugged it in, and confirm it works wonderfully.
The main reason I wanted to leave this review is to share some of the steps I had to go through to get it set up on Windows 10; the instructions are not 100% clear in this regard.
1) The drivers did not update automatically, so you will need to do this yourself. If you're not sure how to do this, you can open up Windows
Explorer, right click on My Computer, and right click properties. Then click Manage Devices on the left side of the window that opens. In
here, look under USB devices and you should see the Plugable device. Right click on this and choose Update Drivers. Then continue
through the prompts and choose to search for drivers on the Internet. This should get you the drivers you need for it to work.
2) When choosing to extend my display, the display only extended to the monitor that was plugged in with the HDMI cable. You will need to
modify some display settings to get the display to extend to two monitors. Do this my opening your system settings application, click on
the System menu item and then click on the Display menu item. You should see that there are three displays shown in the settings, but
only two are working. To fix this you need to scroll down to the section titled Multiple Displays and choose 'Extend desktop to this display'
from the drop down menu. Now your display should be extended to both monitors and you may need to scroll back up to the top to
rearrange the screens how you want them
Hope this helped anyone experiencing issues setting up dual monitor external display.
