    As titled, received my 7577 last week. I’ve yet to enable PowerShare in the BIOS.

    I assume once enabled using the standard USB sockets should be fine for charging my Moto G6 Plus (usb-c socket)?

    How about charging via the Thunderbolt USB-C socket with a C to C cable?

    Safe or proceed with caution?

    Isn't that feature supposed to work only on USB port on the left side of the laptop?

    Powershare allows USB charging using battery or AC even when the PC is off. Thunderbolt 3 needs bus activation from both PC and phone otherwise TB3 port stays dormant.
