So i have an old screen that i would like to connecto to my new Windows 10 computer.
This screen is ONLY VGA. So i want to buy a usb-c to VGA adapter. However ive read online that you have to have a Display port alternative usb-c port in your computer to support it.
My question is how do i check if my usb-c ports supports it?

According to your own link, the Type-C connector
port Supports USB 3.1 Gen 2, DisplayPort 1.2, Thunderbolt 3 and also enables you to connect to an external display using a display adapter.
However, the adapter of your selection doesn't need any Display Port, nor any Tunderbolt functionality - it is a plain USB 3.0 to VGA converter. You don't need DP support to run your adapter and VGA monitor.
But I would strongly advise you to throw away your old VGA screen, and just buy a normal modern LED monitor 22" or 27". Some are under $100 these days. And you won't need any adapter for this. You will save money and waste less power. And preserve your vision.
