How to enable 2 monitors without mirroring them

[rinku]

I have been trying to use both my monitors to work well with windows 7.
I have the following configuration :
Intel orignal DH87RL
Intel core I7-4770 , 3.4Ghz
1st Dell monitor with HDMI => connected to HDMI port
2nd Dell Monitor with HDMI => connected to DVI port using dvi to HDMI connector

I can see both the monitor connected as mirror but I want them to be used as increased desktop space.
In settings I am unable to see that 2 monitors are connected. Images attached below:

Any pointers will be helpful

Hi there, usually there should be an option to "Extend this Display" from the drop down box when 2 monitors are connected. Do you not have this option?

If not, it could be the cable/adapter type, can you test it with one connected via VGA cable?

I am unable to see that option, I can see both the monitors as mirrored.
Also, I see the display as standard VGA adapter, but there is no VGA port in mother board, I have one DVI and 1 HDMI port

Why not try one with each type? 1 HDMI and 1 DVI.

Right mouse button click on your desktop screen, go down to Screen Resolutions. Your window should look like this;

As paulpicks21 said, select "Extend these Displays".

Sorry, I did see this post.

1st, we need you to fill in your system specs. This is very important as I have no idea what you graphic card is. With that info we can determine if it supports dual monitors, which it may not & thus no "Extend these Displays" function. You have HDMI & DVI but that doesn't necessarily mean dual monitor capable. It could be options for configuring to your monitor's connector as some monitors, mine included, do not accept HDMI.
