The StarTech Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter worked perfect to connect two monitors to my older laptop. It was recommended by the B and H representative after looking at photos of my old laptop through photos he had me email him. I appreciate the kind and knowledgable assistance to create my perfect photo editing set up.

I do not know. The product is advertised to convert from USB 3 to HDMI with no indication that it can convert in the other direction (other than, presumably, for basic device communication). You need to ask the manufacturer.
