I want to connect an Apple Thunderbolt Display with my Elitebook 840 G6.

The Apple Display has a Thunderbolt 2 connector. I am using a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. However, the monitor is not detected.

 

I came across this thread, which did not help me much and was unfortunately already closed: 

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Video-Display-and-Touch/Connect-HP-EliteBook-850-G6-to-Apple-... 

 

However, it seems to be possible in principle to connect an Apple Thunderbolt Display with a Windows-PC (I found it on a German board -  but not for a HP notebook):

On the HP support website is an instruction given to connect not Windows-certified devices via Thunderbolt (but it is only valid for HP Spectre or Ultrabook):

Now I am looking for this option on my Elitebook 840 G6, but did not find it so far.

I have updated my drivers, but without success.

 

Does someone has an idea how to connect not Windows-certified devices via Thunderbolt on a HP EliteBook?

 

Many thanks in advance for your ideas and help.

 

Best wishes

I have the same question. Has there been a solution?

Unfortunately, I did not find a solution so far and am using another display via HDMI not by Apple  at the moment.

However, using the Apple Thunderbolt-Display would still be my preferred solution.
