Compatible Docking Station

[Dbone5]

I have a Thunderbolt G2 docking station at home that will not connect to my laptop, HP Notebook 15-dy1051wm.  I downloaded the driver for it, but could not get it to work.  Upon deeper investigation I discovered that my laptop will not support that particular docking station.  I have since tried several other docking stations that plug into my USB C port with no success.  Is there anything that you could recommend to help mitigate this.  I need to connect 3 monitors for work.

I have also had other people suggest that I buy a new laptop, but this one here is still operating great so I see no need to trash it.  Thanks.

The specs of your machine is  : https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06463306

Firstly : It is NOT compatible with your Thunderbolt G2 docking station, all Thunderbolt docking stations.

Secondary: No USB-C dock to work on your machine to get video out.

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
