We have not had good luck with the generic adapters.
Try a name brand like Plugable or Cable Matters who can offer better support. Here is an example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G5OAT88 Do check the specs carefully because many adapters will only display an image on one monitor connection at a time.
To simplify the approach, it may be easier to get two separate adapters.
That way you can opt for two different images on VGA vs HDMI for maximum flexibility - super handy for PowerPoint and other applications that handle multiple monitors natively - but this adds to the cost.
Yet another option is to get a simple docking station that has all the ports you need for keyboards/mice, printers, etc. for not much more money. Please see the guide.
