The reason being one of the hdmi is for input. It can not be used to connect to a monitor. See the description for both hdmi ports below.
3. HDMI-out port
Connect to a TV, external display or another HDMI-in enabled device. Provides video and audio output.
4. HDMI-in port
Connect a gaming console, Blu-ray player, or other HDMI-out enabled device.

Since you only have one HDMI-OUT on this PC model, you might consider getting a USB3>video dongle with the right type video port for your monitor, eg USB3>HDMI, USB3>DisplayPort...
Just make sure the dongle supports your version of Windows and the "recommended" (aka: "native" or "optimum") resolution of the monitor you'll connect to the dongle.
