Hi @Mathieu_Arsenau,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To connect your Nintendo Switch to your all-in-one HP desktop using the HDMI-in port, you can follow these steps.

Locate the HDMI-in Port:

• Identify the HDMI-in port on your all-in-one HP desktop. It's usually labeled as "HDMI In."

Connect the HDMI Cable:

• Take the HDMI cable that came with your Nintendo Switch or any standard HDMI cable.
• Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI-out port on your Nintendo Switch docking station.

Connect the Other End to the HDMI-in Port:

• Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI-in port on your HP all-in-one desktop.

Power On Your Devices:

• Power on your Nintendo Switch by placing it in the dock and turning it on.
• Turn on your HP desktop.

Switch Input Source:

• On the back of your HP desktop, you mentioned a "little knob." This is likely a source or input selector.
• Use this knob to select the HDMI input source where you connected your Nintendo Switch. You may see options like HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.
• Alternatively, check your all-in-one desktop's user manual to find instructions on changing the input source.

Adjust Display Settings:

• Once you've selected the correct HDMI input, you may need to adjust the display settings on your HP desktop to ensure the Nintendo Switch's signal is properly displayed.

Enjoy Gaming:

• You should now be able to play your Nintendo Switch games on your all-in-one HP desktop monitor.

Remember that the HDMI-in feature on your desktop is essentially treating the desktop as a monitor for another device, like your Nintendo Switch. If you have any specific instructions or additional features related to the HDMI-in port on your HP desktop, consult the user manual for detailed information.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
