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.

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.

2. mini-hdmi on the Magedok monitor to usb-c on the Windows Surface Go.
Would that be accurate?
