This display adapter requires a connection that supports USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode for extending the displays. The use of any adapter to convert a USB-C signal to USB Type-A would not have the capability of supporting display extensions. As such, this device would not function for extending displays when used in such a manner.

If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you may want to look into our USB 3.0 display adapters such as the following, which should be compatible:

Note that each of these devices do require driver installation.
