I checked online, but it seems hard to find clear info on running two monitors with a single CPU that has built-in graphics (4600g). You might need to look into specific motherboard or BIOS settings.

You have the option, though a mobo requires wiring. The APU GPU works with it if you don’t spot a board featuring two video ports, look for one with a USB C display port, or any display port that can be daisy-chained.

It depends on your goal. Based on how you're asking, it seems your motherboard has just one video port. If you want to copy the signal to two screens, adapters are needed (for example). But if you aim to stretch the display across two monitors, a single port won't work since only one screen will be recognized by the PC. As @starsmine points out, you'll need a board that supports multiple video outputs.

iGPUs can handle two displays smoothly, provided the motherboard supports video output.

DP MST hubs support the transmission of multiple display signals through a single connection.

Curious about DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport. Is every DP1.2+ port capable of this feature, or does the device need to support it specifically? Probably varies depending on the user's setup, unless there have been updates to the motherboards. Most still use a single HDMI connection, so it really comes down to what the community is using.

It's handled directly in the driver code. Apple products don't have this feature, though all Windows systems tested so far do.

It includes two ports, but I'm curious about its power level.
