Charging via USB-C

I have an Inspiron 15 3000(3501) and I am wondering if I can charge it with a 65 watts USB-C charger.

    @User2355  The Setup and Specifications document for that system here doesn't mention USB PD support in the description of the USB-C port.  Similarly, the External Ports section of the documentation just mentions USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 support.  So it seems unlikely that it supports charging via USB-C.  If you have a USB-C charger though, you can just connect it and see what happens. You definitely won't damage anything.  If the system doesn't support USB PD, then it won't be able to perform a USB PD negotiation, and therefore the power source won't provide power.

    Inspiron 3501 11th gen doesn't come up with Type c port charging. It is for transferring data.
