Old docking station to New MacBook Pro M2

I've got an old docking station that works great with my 2013 MacBook pro, will I be able to connect it to my new 13" MacBook Pro 2022, and will it work?

That will depend entirely on the docking station, and how it connects to your 2013 MacBook Pro.


Can you provide the make and model of the docking station?


If you physically cradle the Mac in the docking station or is expecting particular port on the Mac in a particular location, then it may not be possible to connect it to the new Mac.


If it uses a standard USB connector cable or even Thunderbolt 2, you can get an adapter to go from one of the ports on the new Mac to the cable on the docking station.
