Use HDMI-out on Windows to drive old 30" (Dual-link DVI) Apple monitor

I have an AMD Ryzen (TUF Gaming) Windows 10 laptop with a Geforce card and HDMI output. Try what I may, it fails to drive a decade-old 30" dual-link DVI Apple monitor. My current setup uses two powered convertors: 1. HDMI -> DisplayPort (powered convertor; Comsol brand) 2. DisplayPort -> Mini DisplayPort (unpowered adapter; generic) 3. Mini DisplayPort to Dual-link DVI (powered convertor; Apple brand) However, Windows can't even identify a monitor is connected. The Cinema Display has a black screen with power light on. In the past, I successfully used links #2 and 3 of this chain with a DisplayPort-enabled laptop. But the new HDMI -> DP convertor (link #1) seems to break the chain. Any ideas? Even if only to get it working at low resolution? -- Other things I tried: 1. Generic USB-C to Mini DisplayPort convertor didn't work. (The laptop has a non-Thunderbolt USB-C 3.1 port) 2. Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter (unpowered) as link #3 didn't work either.
