Works (partially) with HP Legacy Laptop/HP 5G Dock

I have an old (4-5 year old) HP laptop that doesn't have a USB-C drive port. I also have a newer HP Dock (5G) with C drive connection. I was hoping to use this adapter in place of a C-Disk to route video, power and other connections to a G5 dock rather than buying an HP G2 dock which is said to support older HP laptops via an adapter supports. Also. This adapter worked as I suspected. This allows me to use a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse (USB-A connected to a G5 docking port) along with a webcam connected to a G5 dock (also USB-A), but no video on my separate large ones Monitor transmits and does not charge an HP laptop. It's still better than other USB-C to USB-A adapters I've bought. I just need to connect the laptop to the power cord and also connect the HDMI cable directly from the laptop to a separate large monitor. Not perfect, but it's better than moving the USB connections (keyboard/mouse and webcam) every time I switch my new HP to my old HP, and it's great value for money.
