Docking station compatibility HP 15-dw1083wm

Hollywood12 · ‎01-24-2022

I have a HP Laptop model HP 15-dw1083wm and I want to know if I can use a Dell docking station with it. The docking station is the Dell WD15

I have another computer which is a dell and the docking station works correct with it.

however, when I hook up the HP to it my keyboard works but not the monitors nor is it charging the battery.

So is there something that I can do to make it work or do I need a different docking station?

If I need a different one then which one?

I also wonder if there is docking station that would be compatible with both laptops.

I would really like to be able to unplug one laptop and plug in the other.

Thanks

Hello @Hollywood12 .

You can get a universal USB-C/A dock from HP to work properly on their computers, as I don't think Hp designs their computers to use another company's docking station, however, the usb type c port on the 15-dw1083wm computer does not transmit video, but does transmit data and charging.

Well my main goal here is to hook up my two monitors that I use with my Dell laptop.

What would be a good fix for this?

You will need an HDMI video splitter
