The specs of your machine is

 

          https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06537355

 

It does not have micro USB port. It ONLY has 1 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C™ (Data Transfer Only, 5 Gb/s signaling rate) 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

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only), you can use

  • Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
  • Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter

 

You need USB port for keyboard and mouse therefore for more connectivity, please use


                         True Universal Docking Stations

 

Regards.
