Having trouble connecting external display to my linux lite laptop


I have this old Dell Laptop with i3 4th gen and geforce 820m running updated linux lite with open source drivers and I have one monitor laying around so thought to connect them as the laptop's screen is in pretty bad shape so bought one hdmi to vga cable expecting it to be a plug and play kinda thing but i was wrong as when i connected the external device was just showing cable not detected.

Help needed to connect them and to learn the how to as well.

What is the resolution of that monitor? Can you install ARandR?
