I just bought the HP 17.3" Touchscreen Laptop, Intel Core i3, 16GB RAM, 128GB eMMC + 1TB SSD, Windows 11 H, Silver. I have two new HP monitors, and I ordered the HP USB-C Dock G5 to try and connect them. My computer did not recognize this device when I plugged it in. I tried every troubleshooting solution from HP and google. I finally sent this back and ordered HP USB C G2 docking station. HP support via live chat is acting like this laptop does not work at all with a docking station, no matter the model. Can this be right? My laptop has a Superspeed USB Type-C port. How can this not be compatible? Any workarounds if this really is the case? Should I order a USB-C to USB converter and plug it into my computer that way? I'd really rather not have to get a different laptop just to be compatible with these screens and docking station. Thanks.
