Product: Envy X360 15-dr 1023nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought this i7 10th Gen hoping to use it as the base of my new recording studio.  However, the DAW I want (Apollo) needs a Thunderbolt capability. I know my laptop doesn't have Thunderbolt in it, I didn't know about that at the time I bought it.  What I'd like to know if anyone knows, I have USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type C.  I have seen USB converters which seem to convert Type C usb's to Thunderbolt - at least in Zbook and Elite.  My hope is I can use this converter with my Envy then hook up my Apollo DAW onto that so that I could use the Apollo DAW with my Envy laptop. Does anyone know about this? Is it workable? Or is this all moot without the Thunderbolt chip in your laptop?

 

Thanks.

@TareyW Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you would like to use the USB C type to thunderbolt port converter.

 

I understand your concerns.

 

You can use the converter. It may or may not work.
