I tried it and the HP complained about charging and started to run hot. I would not recommend using the WD19 on say a HP laptop. Unlike the WD15, we could actually recover the WD19. The WD19, they seem to have worked out alot of the bugs and we have only had a few problems with them (usually firmware related). We had lots of trouble with the WD15, including bricking a handful after firmware updates (stay away from those). The 1st gen Dell laptops that didn't have the E-port used the USB-C type docking stations like the Thunderbolt WD15. For us, first thing to go is the ethernet port.

We've had hundreds of these with very little problems. If these are older Dell laptops, they will use the E-port dock which is a special docking port on the bottom of the laptop (exclusive to Dell). This will freeze your PC display for a few seconds and then it will be restored.We have decades of using Dell docks, back to the early days of D-port. Just press Windows Key + Ctrl + B + Shift on your keyboard simultaneously. In that case, I’d recommend restarting your laptop GPU, which is very easy and straightforward. Sometimes, a bug in your laptop graphics card causes random problems such as this one. Install the driver and then restart your computer. In the next window, select your operating system and then download the latest driver file. In the search field, type your Dell Docking Station model number. Head over to the official Dell driver download page. Sometimes, restarting your docking station and graphics card won’t do the trick, so you need to follow that up by installing the latest driver for your Dell docking station. Select Search automatically for the driver option. Right-click on your display driver and choose Update Driver. To update GPU drivers in Windows 10/11, open Device Manager. In order for your laptop to effectively send video signals to the monitor connected through the docking station, updated video card drivers are necessary. Now, connect it back to your laptop and connect the monitor to it through HDMI or USB-C cable.
