Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
I am currently using HP Laptop 14s-dq2535TU and I am not able to connect my laptop using USB-C cable as it is unrecognized. I need to update my hardware but I am not able to find the option. Also I have only USB-C cable to connect to an external monitor.

You are going to have to use an HDMI cable and the HDMI port on your laptop.
The HDMI port is meant to be used to connect to displays and projectors.
The USB Type-C port of your laptop is only capable of data transfer, not for connection to a display.
