Connecting a thunderbolt display 27 with a Dell laptop

Hello, my employer will soon be changing a particular system access for security reasons which means I will need to login directly to a work provided DELL laptop whilst working from home, currently I use a iMac Mini & a Thunderbolt Display 27 to login remotely. My question is, is there a way for me to connect my Dell laptop to the Thunderbolt Display 27?

There are many standards/specifications on various laptops..


On many occasions, PC laptops would work with TB display - on very specific hardware: the laptops should be equipped with TB port (nowadays, TB 3/4).


However, some people reported they have to go to PC's BIOS to maneuver some set-up in order to make it work. Besides that, you still need the TB 2 to TB 3 adapter.


Good luck
