Connect Nintendo Switch to laptop

[darkfuture008]

Hello, I’m trying to connect my Nintendo Switch to my laptop. Laptop is brand Thomson and it doesn’t have an HDMI output. It also doesn’t have a capture card. I only have USB-C cable. When I connect the cable to my switch and my laptop it recognizes the switch but I can’t see the switch on my laptop screen.
Can anyone please help me? Thanks. Dark

2 months later.... This is probably to late to help but in case anyone else finds this thread looking for the same thing.

I'm assuming you want to connect it to the laptop so you can record gameplay. To do this you need a capture card most laptops would have one but you can buy a external one (normally the Elgato Hd60s is recommended).

The capture card has 2 HDMI ports which go in from switch and out to your TV (switch has to be docked) and there is a usb cable that joins the capture card and the laptop.

You then need to download recording software for your laptop I'd personally recommend OBS studios.

But I'd also check the specs of your laptop is capable of running everything.

Hope someone find this useful.
