How to use multiple displays with hdmi or displayport

I have just bought a new Z87 Deluxe motherboard which I am using with a 4770k.

It has integrated hdmi, displayport and mini displayport.
I thought that I would be able to plug in a monitor in the HDMI and the displayport and that I would get independent displays - but I don't. What am I doing wrong or is there something I haven't understood.

Both monitors are working but they only show a duplicate display. I want to extend them. I actually want to extend to third monitor as well.

The second display is not recognised by the system so I am simply getting a duplicate signal. If there is some setting or driver then I can't find it and Windows update can't find it either.

Any clues, anyone?

I run a three LCD setup. Benq 27 inch 120hz as the main and two asus 22 inch 120hz's on the outsides. Right click on the desktop and choose screen resolution. There is a setting for multiple displays. Choose Extend These displays.

Thanks.
I've tried that but the point is that the additional display isn't isn't recognised. Otherwise it would be easy.
The question is why are there two monitors connected - one through hdmi and the other through displayport that only one monitor is recognised.
