Using dual monitors with Mac Mini
I have a new generation Mac mini and want to use a second monitor for an extended desktop view. I had one suggestion from the local Apple Store that would have been for a splitter that used the USB C output from the Mac to two HDMI outputs, but all the reviews on that device said that all it would give me was a mirror image of one monitor.
When I was online with setup support, the tech sent me a link to an HDMI splitter that looks like it does the same thing, only outputs from the HDMI output on the Mac instead of the USB C.
I want to have multiple windows open across two monitors. I had this easily on my desktop PC at my design job before I retired last month, and thought it would be easy to repeat this feat in the Mac world. So far, not so much. What am I missing here?
