How to connect 2 Boifun monitors to a laptop with a legacy USB Type-C port

I bought 2 of these Boifun monitors. They work great and are worth the money, but the instructions aren't as clear as they could be. I had a hard time connecting monitors to my laptop, but after doing some research at Best Buy, it turned out to be pretty easy. If you have a laptop with an old USB Type "C" port (NOT Thunderbolt), this monitor will not work with that Type "C" port. But the solution is simple. Buy "USB 3.0 HDMI Dual Monitor Multi-Monitor Adapter" from j5create. This adapter converts 1 regular USB port (type A or B on all laptops) to 2 HDMI ports. Then plug each boifun into each of the HDMI ports (and connect each boifun to power with the included power cord) and they work great for video and audio. I was not able to get this information from Boifun himself but from a local Best Buy.
