killem2 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm currently running TB 2 with a ZBOOK 15, but I'm looking at getting an 850 Elite Book and it has USB C connections. Would I be able to take my existing EGPU over Thunderbolt 2, and just get the proper adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukikaze Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Does that Elitebook 850 have a Thunderbolt3 chip, or does it only come with purely USB Type-C connectors? If it is has Thunderbolt3 supported Type-C ports, then by using a TB3 to TB2/1 adapter (when they become available - I haven't seen any in the wild yet, but Startech has one up for pre-order), it should work (but that said, you might be the first one to actually try that configuration, and that adapter isn't cheap). If the connectors are purely USB, however, I suspect you are out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 You need Thunderbolt on both ends! USB is not gonna work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
