I have a hp laptop 15-dw0xxx laptop and am not sure what docking station to use. This laptop does not have USBC power, so I'm not sure if a docking station that has USBC input to the laptop will work. Powering the laptop directly by its power source is fine, but I'm not sure if plugging a USB C cord from the docking station will work to allow me to uses multiple displays. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What is your 15-dw0xxx machine ? It should have same ports as the following machine:

 

                  HP Notebook - 15-dw0083wm

 

It ONLY has 1 hopeless USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C™ (Data Transfer Only, 5 Gb/s signaling rate) port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

  • Charge your machine,
  • Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter (some hubs may have builtin chip to support this)

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only-total 3), you can use

  • Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
  • Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter
