Question USB adapter cable

[fidderr]

hello,

in our company we have newer laptops with a usb C port and older version laptops with a HDMI port.
we connect the laptop to a monitor that has 1 usb C port, 1 displayport in port and 1 display port out port.
we use displayport daisychain to connect multiple monitors, this works for the newer laptops since they have a usb C port but not for the older models since they only have a HDMI port.

my question is if i buy a HDMI to usb c cable will this work? (usb c in monitor and HMDI in laptop) ive only seen this question the other way around. maybe im dumb for asking this

Yes this should work fine, as usb-c and hdmi are both reversible.

No it will not work. USB-C to HDMI adapters are not reversible, just read the product description on any adapter.
