Product: HP Pavilion Gaming 15-dk10000 Laptop PC (8VD49AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I need help figuring out what kind of docking station I need to buy for this laptop.   Since it doesn't support Thunderbolt 3 or 4, will a USB-C docking station work?

 

I'm wanting to be able to plug into a dock and use an external monitor as my display instead of using my laptop screen.

 

Any help here would be great. Thank you.

Its specs

 

   https://support.hp.com/ie-en/document/c06902418

 

It has  1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 10Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge) port which  allows you to connect to an USB-C dock but you ONLY need to use one external monitor why not use  1 HDMI 2.0 port ?

 

You can use external monitor and close the lid. Please allow external monitor as MAIN. You still need to open the lid when power up your machine.

 

Regards.

Thank you for your reply!

 

The main reason I don't just use the ports on the laptop is because of availability and space.   

 

I use my home office for work (work laptop) and play (personal laptop), so I have USB-C style docks available to take home if I want to and I have two new curved monitors available to me as well.  

 

Being compatible with USB-C means that there's less changing I need to do with my setup when I swap from my work laptop to my personal laptop. And the less shuffling of equipment that I do, the better.
