HP 250 G8 and HUB USB-C Universal

[benjamingntll]

Hi,

I recently purchased an HP 250 G8 with an HP Universal USB-C HUB to have 2 external displays (1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort) but my external displays are not working.
I noticed that the USB-C port on my laptop only supports data transfer because there is no DisplayPort or Thunderbolt logo.
My question is this: Would buying an external power supply to power my HP Universal USB-C HUB allow me to have adequate power and have my 2 external displays working?

Thanks for your help!
