Q: How to Connect a HP Elite Book to the Cinema Display
I have a Cinema Display and it works perfectly with my Macbook (both with OSX and Windows 10).
Someone in the household put a spanner in the works and brought home a HP Elite Book. It has a Display Port.
I bought a cable with a Display Port on one end and and a mini display port on the other. I plugged the mini display port into the back of the Cinema Display. This does not work.
Should this work or am I totally doing it wrong? O know that these are Thunderbolt ports but I understand that they also are Display ports.
Do I need to use the existing cable of the Cinema Display with the mini display port and thus buy an adapter which has a female mini display port to male display port which would get plugged into the HP Elite Book?
Thanks in advance for any help.
