Now to learn what to do next, the PC is dual boot between Windows 10 and Linux Mint 20.3.
How should I proceed now?
I also got a lead with the Graphics card that has two VGA female sockets.

First up have a look here on the circuit side as you will want to output

Well check that windows is detecting both monitors in dual displays .
select one as you desk top other extended display .
If the pc boots up with both displays thats good !
Next load mode line by copy paste to the large white empty menu box .
I would do one at a time as some i have found don't work for me .
Look at my post 2 post back at the image of mode line menu all those worked for me apart from 180 line .
I will post what i have handy here my workable ones will be in among those below .

The ones that work will come up green(if in red will not work with out code change ) that arrow next to say if you selected 405 line at 664x377 you select and it will ask you to reboot yes reboot and once your back select it again and it will now work one of the monitors will go off and that vga will be outputting 405 line at this size 664x377 so it will not be all the display say some mode line at 1680x220 this size would be showing all the desktop well thats what i am finding .
Easy when you know very hard with no instructions !
I found to if i left the pc in mode line displaying say again 405 line for a long time pressing the esc button to go back to the monitor display it would not work i had to reboot the pc more than likely my PC than a normal thing .
But yes ESC button you go back to the desk top monitor .
