Use Magedok screen as a second monitor for my Microsoft Surface Go.

I would like to be able to use this Magedok T1116D 1080P FHD Capacitive Touch Portable Monitor shown here http://magedok.com/touch-screen-monitor-t116c as a second monitor for my Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Go device shown here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/surface-go/8V9DP4LNKNSZ/L8M8?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab.

I would like to be able to either go miracast (wireless) with a device like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X7FCC1F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or wired. Either way would work fine with me.

I have also ordered this device https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DNH2SHR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I own the standard docking station that works with all the Microsoft Surface units.

I notice that the Microsoft Surface Go device has the proprietary charging port, as well as a usb-c port.

The monitor has a micro-usb port as well as a usb-c port and and mini-hdmi port.

The monitor "appears" that it can only be powered through the usb-c port, but I am not sure of that because just connecting it to the usb-c port on the surface is only enough to power it on, but does not allow the screen to display.

Assistance in figuring out the next step here is greatly appreciated.

1. usb-c on the Magedok monitor to usb wall adapter

2. mini-hdmi on the Magedok monitor to usb-c on the Windows Surface Go.

Would that be accurate?

I like that option also. I think I will put that in my bag. That looks like a great hub.

I would also like to find a "mini-hdmi to usb-c" cable. It seems that my search string is not working for that.
