How to Identify A Full-Function USB-C Port

1. Look at your laptop's USB-C ports and find the Thunderbolt icon ⚡, D or DP symbol next to it (DP means DisplayPort) as shown above. If these icons are present, the ports are full-function USB-C ports.
2. If you don't see these symbols, check your laptop's manual to see that your USB-C port has display support or if the manual mentions "DP Alt-Mode".
3. If you are unsure of your laptop's compatibility, please let us know your laptop's brand and model so that we can help you determine if this product will work for you.

FAQS
