Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter is needed, and then you just plug the TB3 end to the PC and the TB2 end plugs into the monitor's cable. If you're still committed to using the TB display with a PC, then you should check that the PC has a Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt is of course a separate thing. So it would always be better to use that dock with a USB-C port (that supports Displayport), but it can be used with a USB-A 3.0 equipped computer if need be, a common need in enterprise settings is to support more devices, even older ones. Which means it can use a DP link without using up the USB data stream. USB-C has what's called alt (alternate) mode, and the main use of alt mode is Displayport. What it means is that you can connect a USB-A computer (as long as it's USB 3.0) and it will share the video link with the USB data, which is not ideal, you will lose data speeds and it has to compress the signal and reduce it, etc. No Thunderbolt on that dock.ĭisplaylink is what some docks and adapters use to connect to displays over a purely USB data link.
