Hey everyone! I've got a setup question for you all. My laptop is a pretty powerful ROG Zephyrus Duo 15SE, while my PC has a GeForce GTX 1080, which is older. The catch is that my monitors only work with the PC. I've tried a bunch of different cables, but since the monitors are older, it's been tricky. Is there a way I can connect my laptop to my PC so I can use the monitors through the laptop? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

To start off, it would help to know what ports you have on both your laptop and PC, and also on the monitors. Knowing whether you have HDMI, DisplayPort, or something else could make a big difference in the solutions we can suggest. Maybe share what connections you currently have set up?
Sure! On my laptop, I have an HDMI port, Ethernet, 3 USB-A, and 1 USB-C. For my PC, it has a few USB-A, some USB-C, and a DVI port. Right now, I'm using one monitor connected via DVI and the other is hooked up with a VGA to USB, but the VGA to USB doesn't work with my laptop. I'm trying to connect my laptop to my PC using the HDMI.
