I am using the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 2020 variant 👨‍💻, which has an HDMI output connected to the NVIDIA GTX 1650 GPU 🎮. When I use it in KDE Neon without installing the NVIDIA driver, I can get a display output 🖥️. However, even after installing the driver, I can only get on my laptop monitor and not on the external monitor when using Solus OS 🐧.

Show xrandr -q with monitor connected. And inxi -Gxx.

I see you're doing it on Solus Live. Open Solus with the NVIDIA compatybilite mode option and see the result of the commands I gave earlier.

It looks like you don't have a driver for either rdeon or nvidia. Connect to the internet, type doflicky-ui in the terminal and see what you can install.

In version 4.3, which was installed on my laptop some time ago, I tried installing all the drivers from this source, but nothing happened. However, in version 4.4, it's not possible to install them in a live environment because I have a 32GB pendrive, and when I try to install these drivers, it shows that the storage is full. Until I am sure that both my monitors work, I cannot install them on my laptop.

    Itz-Abhishek-Tiwari That's because your RAM gets full. The live environment won't write anything to your pendrive when installing packages.
