 Hijacking my WFH set up - smokie
Did you get anywhere with this Bobby?

Only it's been suggested to me by a knowledgeable guy who reads here occasionally that the USB C to A converter idea could be a waste of time & money as

"it won’t support video because his docking station will be using Thunderbolt via the USB C socket. USB C is more than a protocol/plug because it also can carry video (DisplayLink) and power.

"In all likelihood the work laptop is using the Thunderbolt connection for both USB (keyboard and mouse) and display. Unless your own laptop has Thunderbolt (so a Mac or one of the small number of Intel based laptop with TB) then it will only work for keyboard and mouse."

I'd trust that info but someone else may have a different view.
