Hi,

You do not give the exact model of your notebook

HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Product Name or Number? | HP® Customer Support

 

Most likely your PC does not have DP alt mode so the "normal" USB-C to HDMI adapters will not work. You need a USB adapter with displaylink capability

Example

Hope it helps,

David

You're welcome.

Your USB-C port is a regular USB 3.1 port. So it does not have direct video output (DP alt mode)

So, basically you will need to find and adapter with displaylink (which is a sort of graphics chip)

The one I linked above will run on the regular USB ports.

 

Hope it helps,

David
