Connect Older HP Notebook to HP Envy 27' Monitor

[Sweets-69]

Good Day All,

I have an older model HP Notebook (Product # 1BQ14UA#ABA) that I want to hook up to a HP Envy 27" IPS  Backlit Monitor.

At to moment, I an connecting using the HDMI ports on both the laptop & the monitor.

The HP Envy monitor has an usb-c port as well.

What type of cable/adapter do I need to use to connect the HP Notebook HDMI port to the HP Envoy's usb-c  port?

Am trying to get the best resolution possible.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The specs of your machine is

               https://support.hp.com/hk-en/document/c05392764

It only has

1 HDMI; 1 headphone/microphone combo; 2 USB 2.0; 1 USB 3.1; 1 RJ-45

therefore you have to use HDMI port to connect to an external monitor. There is NO such cable/adapter to convert HDMI to USB-C. You can connect USB-C port to HDMI monitor on many (not all) newer machines but still not another way around.

Regards.
