Question Connect 2 Laptops to Dock

Hi All,

I currently have a Targus DisplayLink DOCK190 connected to my work laptop via USB C. I also have 2 external monitors, keyboard and mouse connected to the same dock and all working perfectly.

I was wondering if its possible to connect my personal laptop via UBS C to the same dock and somehow switch between the 2 laptops as required?

My work laptop is restricted so I can't install any software on it.

Not sure if this will make any difference but my work laptop is a ThinkPad L390 Yoga and my personal laptop is a ASUS Vivobook S.

Appreciate any advice.

If your office laptop is restricted then I don't think so any option will work for you due to the security. To connect multiple displays using a docking station, first insure your docking station supports multiple observers. Connect your laptop to the docking station via the USB- C or other handed connection. also, connect each examiner to the docking station using HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA lines as supported. Configure your display settings in your operating system to arrange and extend the displays as asked . insure you have the rearmost motorists for the docking station and plates card for optimal performance. Bascially, it required extra support like blocks in yoga gracify.co.uk/best-yoga-blocks-uk/. Thank you
