This article explains how to convert DVI to VGA or VGA to DVI, so that you can use DVI and VGA monitors and ports interchangeably. Switching from VGA to DVI will not upscale your image.

There are two basic ways to convert from DVI to VGA. You can use a cable that does the conversion for you. It has a DVI connector on one end and a VGA connector on the other. Plug one end into the DVI port and the other into the VGA port and everything will work normally. You can find these types of cables just about anywhere online that sells electronics.

The other way to convert between these connectors is with a simple adapter. There are plenty of small adapters that have a DVI connection on one end and a VGA connection on the other. Pick the right adapter that fits the device you want to have so that you have the DVI or VGA connection you need, and plug everything in, using the adapter to replace the usual port. These are also widely available and relatively cheap. You can buy one from Amazon, and it will work in most situations.

Make sure you choose the correct male/female configuration to match the connectors on your devices. It shouldn’t be too difficult, as both adapters and cables are widely available and many devices use the same scheme.
