How to connect to laptop 2 monitors?

Hello everyone
We have this hardware:
Monitor 27 inches
Monitor 24 inches
HP Elitebook 2570p laptop without HDMI output (One VGA output)
Now I work on one external monitor 27, I want to connect a second monitor 24 inches.
While experimenting with the Screen Expansion option ( a4a.dyndns.org/dsa76t123h/2016-05-26_08.41.35.png) with a laptop, I noticed that in order to switch between screens, you need to get into a certain area (Probably due to the difference in extensions).
Plus, I didn’t like the fact that the Notebook is recognized as the main monitor, and it’s not convenient to work on it.
Question: What to buy (Adapter, external video card, some kind of smart adapter) to make
it convenient to work with at least two external monitors
Future connectivity 3.4
Thank you

without HDMI output (one VGA output)

But not available DP
Laptop connectors 2 x USB 3.0 (1 of them shared with E-SATA), USB 2.0, Display port , RJ-45, VGA , headphone/microphone jack, docking station connector
So connecting 2 is no problem .

As already mentioned above, you have DisplayPort , this is very good, because. it has adapters for all types of video interfaces. If the video card supports MST, then you can connect up to three monitors through a special hub or monitor with MST support.
Also, for convenience, you can buy a docking station for your laptop so that you can connect all the switching (monitors, keyboard, mouse, power supply) to the station, and if you need to pick up a laptop, then simply snap it off from the station without disconnecting / connecting the whole handful of wires.

What difference does it make to you what the OS considers the main one?
You can force programs to open directly on external monitors.

if there are both VGA and HDMI inputs, then you can use special software
