Connect Apple Studio Display to Windows work laptop

It appears at least HP ProBook x360 435 G8, HP ProBook x360 445 G8, HP ProBook x360 455 G8, HP ProBook 400 G9 Series, and HP ProBook 600 G9 Series can support Thunderbolt, and quite possibly some other ProBook models.

But I’d confirm that with the tech specs for the specific model ProBook, as well as which Thunderbolt version.

So that I don’t have to spend an aeon combing a whole list of candidate HP ProBook tech specs, which model ProBook?

NOT that computer.

The Mac Studio has ThunderBolt-5 inputs, ONLY. They are backward compatible to Thunderbolt-4 or ThunderBolt-3

To get it to act as a simple display for another computer, that computer must have left the factory with a Built-in Thunderbolt-3, 4, or 5 port.

To use its other (than display) features you would need to be running a very recent version of MacOS.

If you had a more advanced Windows machine with a Thunderbolt port, then you likely could connect it with an appropriately short Thunderbolt cable and get a display, but not likely any additional features.

We have NO reports of success connecting through the 10 G bits/sec USB-C ports. They are likely not wired to the display at all. IF they were (contrary to expected fact) , that could only support a 2K resolution at the very best.

Most HDMI adapters are one-way, connecting USB-C hosts with HDMI displays. The ones at that are not tend to be low resolution.
