I have never ran into one that doesn't support at least 2 monitors..also if just browser or movie it shouldn't have much impact

as far as setting up.
plug in second monitor
-if screens are on wrong side, right click an empty spot on desktop and select screen resolution
-if screens are duplicating from that same window click the multiple displays drop down and select extend these displays
image will display with numbered monitors, click and hold on one of the monitors and drag it to the other side
hit apply and your monitors will have swapped sides.
also if you want one to be your main monitor from that same screen select the one you want to be your main and tick the box that says make this my main display.
