I have two charging ports i guess. One is the pin port where the blue pin charger can be used and i have used already. Recently i realized i have USB Type-C port as well but i'm not sure if this is for charging purpose or data transfer purpose. I decided to ask here first before i experiment any Type-C charger. 

 

HP Team looking forward to your answer.

Usman

No, you can't use USB-C charger. It only has  (1) USB Basic Type-C port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

  • Charge your machine,
  • Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter
