Just bought a hp envy 17 i5s with two USB c ports, one with thunderbolt, one with display port.
Which do you plug the supplied mains adaptor into?
The manual say see installation guide, but it's not printed on the guide.

I've managed to photograph the symbols at the side of the two USB c ports, and the thunderbolt has a lightning symbol, whereas the other USB c port has several tiny symbols, one of which is in the shape of a plug.
Therefore I'll be using this one.
The set up instructions would benefit from showing this, and if I'm correct, perhaps explain that the Thunderbolt is primarily for fast data transfer-periferals and docking stations, whereas the other is for display output and the mains power adapter.
Thanks
