G72-B60US

Does anyone know if I can use a thunderbolt docking station with an old G72 Notebook?

Notebook has only a VGA and HDMI port, plus several USB ports.

If so, can you identify the adapter I need to get?

Many thanks

Your machine is too old, it knows NOTHING what is Thunderbolt therefore it won't work on ANY Thunderbolt docks. If you wish to connect to external 2 monitors you can use

 

Monitor 1: HDMI to HDMI (or DVI or DP (using bidirectional cable)),

Monitor 2: NATIVE VGA to VGA

 

You can use a cheap dock such as    https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05357751
