I have a HP Laptop PC 15-dw3000 (31R09AV) with a USB-C port.
If I don't have a cable to test it with, is there a way to determine if my computer can charge through this port?
If I do have a USB-C cable that I can connect to a power source and I plug it into my laptop, will simply plugging it in give me a definitive answer, or is it possible that it won't charge through it until I configure it on my computer?

Simply plugging a USB-C charger into the port will determine if it can charge from the port. USC-C will auto-negotiate charging capabilities. If the laptop cannot charge by USB-C, then nothing will happen. If it is capable of charging by USB-C and the charger does not supply enough power, the operating system should tell you that. Of course, if it does work, then you will see the battery charging.
All that being said, I dont believe I have seen a laptop that can be charged both by USB-C and another standard charger. Multiple power inputs means more connectors and electronics, which costs more money. Laptop manufacturers are always trying to avoid raising costs.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any way to tell visually. You can try searching for the model number to see if you can find a user manual or users reporting experiance.

Be aware that most laptops need 20V to charge. So you need a USB C charger that is intended for charging latops, Chargers that are only intended to charge phones are unlikely to work.

I have never heard of a computer requring configuration to charge.
