Welcome to the forum.
New dock - yes. New monitors / KVM setup - not necessarily. A simple HDMI-to-DVI adapter off the dock may work.

Re: New ,T14 gene Intel.....dual monitors have DVI
If the monitors have a resolution of 1920x1200 or less, then a passive HDMI to DVI dongle will generally work.
My 22" 1920x1200 monitor has two DVI inputs and one Displayport input.
To connect it to laptops or desktops with HDMI ports, I use an HDMI cable + a female HDMI to male DVI passive adapter, similar to this one. You can also buy a cable with HDMI on one end and DVI on the other, like this one.
This works because HDMI and DVI are signals-compatible to a certain extent (IIRC up to 165MHz signal rate, which has enough bandwidth for 1920x1200@60Hz).

Re: New ,T14 gene Intel.....dual monitors have DVI
thank you. Lots of docks.... I'm probably going to get two 4K monitors eventually and what might be the recommended one to get...

T14 Gen3 supports USB-C/Thunderbolt docks only. The Lenovo offerings are expensive:

The advantage, though, is that these connections are mostly standard, so generic USB-C/Thunderbolt docks from third-party manufacturers should work as well. I do not have first-hand experience with any such solutions, though.
