Two external monitors using macOS and Windows on a MacBook Pro 13”

I am in the process of setting up my desktop space and would like some guidance on products to purchase.

I am looking to buy two external monitors and a dock that will allow me to use my macOS and Windows Boot Camp partition on MacBook Pro 13” (2019) with two USB-C ports.

I essentially want to be sure that I will be able to utilize both operating systems when I purchase the new hardware. I have encountered mixed reviews about what will work with Boot Camp. I am willing to sacrifice display quality for speed as I will be using various types of statistical software and ArcGIS.

You have to check with the manufacturer to ensure it works with the OS on the Bootcamp partition.

There is no Bootcamp “compatible” hardware because Bootcamp isn’t an operating system, it’s functionality built into your Mac.

So, you have to check to see if the dock, displays, and any other ancillary devices are compatible with macOS and Windows 10 (for example).

That said, docks and displays rarely have specific OS drivers. Get quality ones of each and you should be fine.
