How to connect Apple Display A1407 to Lenovo Yoga 920

Hello,


I confess I'm quite confused by the various connection types and related iterations. I have a Apple Display, model A1407, which I'm trying to connect to a new Lenovo Yoga 920. I believe the Yoga has USB C.


Does anyone have an adaptor suggestion?


Thanks in advance!

Apple says the display is Mac only, but some people have reported it working with Windows computers that have Thunderbolt ports. (Daisy-chaining two displays doesn't work.) Apple has no control over Windows software or hardware, so don't want to claim any compatibility that may later fail due the Windows changes.


The same applies to the Apple adapter. It might work but Apple won't say.


Startech sells one that does work with Windows laptops.

It says you may need to update the laptop.

Here is a report that mentions a Thunderbolt display working in Windows via a Thunderbolt-3 adapter.
