HDMI Monitor Adapter to PC DisplayPort does no work

I just purchased this PC for a user

Lenovo ThinkCentre E73 Desktop PC - Intel Core i3-4130 3.40GHz, 4GB Memory, 500GB HDD, DVDRW, Windows 7/8 Pro 64-bit

The PC has Win 7 64 bit loaded

This users has 3 monitors
monitor 1 uses serial port
monitor 2 uses a USB connection
(BOTH of the above monitors are working with the new PC)

I trying to hook up a 3rd monitor and this did work on a former PC

The PC has a DisplayPort and the Monitor has a HDMI port

on his past PC I connected the HDMI to DisplayPort cable and it worked

on this PC nothing happens.

I cannot find the displayPort in the Device Manager of the PC

What am I doing wrong?
