Query about USB C compatibility

[WonkyLibrarian]

I have an  HP notebook 15s-fq1006na

I am already hooked up to a Lenovo monitor as my 2nd screen - using the HDMI port. 

I want to buy another screen and attach it with the USB C port - lots of portable monitors now offer this as an option (the USB C port both powers the screen and serves as the digital connection for data/video transfer). 

Before I order the screen, can anyone tell me if the type of USB C port on this model of laptop will work in DP Alt mode?

Short answer: No you can'r connect its USB-C port to a screen. 

Long answer:  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
