Docking station compatible with HP ENVY Notebook

[cadmonkey42]

Hi,

I have an ENVY Notebook (product # W0Q62AV) running Windows 10 64-bit. I am trying to connect to two external monitors. I tried the HP USB-C Dock G5 (5TW10UT#ABA), but my laptop did not recognize it. What is a compatible docking station for my notebook?

Your machine is an HP ENVY - 15T-AS100 CTO, we won't have its  REAL specs. But on page 4 of the manual of the series says it has following ports:

• Audio-in (mono microphone)/audio-out (stereo headphone) combination
• AC Smart Pin adapter plug
• HDMI v1.4 supporting up to 1920×1080 @ 60 Hz
• USB 3.0 ports (3)
• USB 3.0 port Type-C

Therefore its USB-C port is not compatible with  all standard USB-C docks.

Do you require to connect to 2 or more external monitors ?  If yes, please enter your requirement on the following link and it will find for you few USB-A DisplayLink Certified options on market today including some HP products (you can select HP before Search)
