More pricy motherboard normally has usb-c port built-in. USB-C is more versatile since not only it has faster speed, it can also power and support display easily.

I am actually interested to know, if I want to connect my portable monitor with a USB-C connector, using the USB-A port from a Windows 10 desktop, what kind of adaptor and/or software driver I need to use?

Portable monitor has 2 USB-C ports, I can connect one of them to power it using a charger, so power is not an issue. All I need is to output display signal from the desktop. The USB-C port has been verified to work since I can get display from a notebook with a USB-C port.

The desktop PC is running Windows 10, but has no USB-C port. It has many USB3.x ports so there should be enough speed to power FHD display. I has tried connect a USB cable with USB-A on one end and USB-C on the other end, but that does not transmit any display signal.

I wonder if any adaptor or software driver can solve this issue.
