Precision 3560 or 7560 and Dell Thunderbolt Dock TB16

I need to upgrade my Precision 7510 but i'd like to mantain my Dell Thunderbolt Dock TB16: is this compatible with Precision 3560 or 7560? Thanks a lot

@Lorenzo Bordini  It will work, but with the 7560, if you keep that dock you’d have to keep the system’s own power adapter connected just as you presumably do now with your 7510. But since the 7510 launched, Dell developed docks that can meet the power requirements of the Precision 7000 Series systems by connecting to both USB-C/TB3 ports. The TB18DC works like this, and the WD19DCS does too. But they are less optimal for other systems if you might need to use this dock with other models too. The TB18DC only works with dual connector systems. The WD19DCS has a dual connector assembly that’s only held together magnetically, so it can be split so that the dock can be used with single connector systems. But in that mode it’s just a regular USB-C dock, not a Thunderbolt dock, so it wouldn’t be as capable with a single connector Thunderbolt-capable system as a WD19TBS, for example.

Thank you so much for the reply. 
You have clarified many steps.
I have already connect my TB16 to power line with current laptop.
I want to understand if I could use the same device (TB16) already connected to 2 monitors and 2 printers to the new laptop without change also this device.
Thanks a lot
