I wasn't certain which forum to share this in, but I hope it works. Right now I work from home with a two-desk arrangement—one side has a Lenovo X1 laptop with USB-C, a docking station, and wireless peripherals; the other side uses a PC with two monitors connected via DisplayPort and DVI, plus a wired keyboard and mouse, and a motherboard without USB-C ports. I’m looking for the most affordable way to connect my laptop to both screens and the wired devices. I considered a KVM switch but need guidance since I’m new to them and want clear options. Thanks ahead!

Check if your displays support multiple connections.

There are two extra PCIe 3.0 x1 connections available, but only one can be used because the graphics card limits access.
