Hi @rodman66 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To determine whether your HP Pavilion TP01 desktop supports DP Alt Mode over USB-C, we need to check if the USB-C port on the system supports this functionality. DisplayPort Alt Mode (DP Alt Mode) allows a USB-C port to transmit video signals to an external display using a USB-C to DisplayPort or USB-C to HDMI cable.

Steps to Check DP Alt Mode Compatibility:

Check Device Specifications:

• Look up the specifications of your Pavilion TP01 model on HP’s official website or in the product manual. Search for information on USB-C ports, especially to see if it mentions support for DisplayPort (DP Alt Mode) or video output.

Inspect the USB-C Port Symbol:

• Check the USB-C port on your Pavilion TP01 for a small "DP" or monitor icon next to it. If the port has this icon, it likely supports DP Alt Mode.

Test with a USB-C to HDMI or DP Adapter:

• You can also test it by using a USB-C to HDMI or USB-C to DisplayPort adapter and connecting the desktop to an external display. If video output works, then the port supports DP Alt Mode.

Check the Chipset:

• Sometimes USB-C video output capability depends on the chipset of the machine. You could look up your machine's processor or motherboard chipset specifications to verify if it supports video over USB-C.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
