Connecting to HDMI cable

[Gersen]

I need to connect to an HDMI cable to display PowerPoint and play videos. For which port should I get an adaptor, USB 3 or the USB-C? Thanks

The specs of your machine is

   https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06078881

It has

• 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 2 (Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s, Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge);
• 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (1 HP Sleep and Charge);
• 1 HDMI 2.0;
• 1 headphone/microphone combo

The USB-C to HDMI probably won't work, you need port which has Alt mode. You probably need an adapter which is similar to the following one

BUT why you have to pay more when your machine already has HDMI port ?
