Connecting to laptop which has a USB-C port without DP alt-mode or PD

USB Docking Stations UD-ULTC4K

Hi,

I already have this dock and it is working correctly with both an old PC and my work laptop.

I am hoping to get an old laptop (specifically the Lenovo IdeaPad 1).
This laptop has a USB-C port but it does not seem to support DisplayPort Alt Mode or USB-C Power Delivery.

Will the dock work with this laptop if I connect my two monitors to the Display 2 & 3 ports, and I keep the laptop charged via its normal power supply?

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching out on our support forums.

Yes, the UD-ULTC4K should have no issues running in the configuration you mentioned. Do note, the DisplayLink drivers will need to be installed on the older laptop as well.

If the older versions of DisplayLink are needed, you can find them here: https://plugable.com/pages/displaylink

Let us know if there is anything else we can help with.

Sincerely,
