Are USB-C and Micro-USB the same?
USB Type-C has an oblong-shaped plug and is slightly bigger than Micro-USB. It can be inserted either side up. Micro-USB can only be plugged in one way and has two hooks at the bottom to hold the cable in place.

Originally Answered: Will a Micro-USB charger work with a USB Type C port? Yes it will. You just need to replace the cable or buy a cheap adapter from eBay. USB-C is just a connector, just like microUSB is just a connector.
Currently, a standard USB 2.0 connection offers up to 2.5W of power (which is just about enough to charge your phone at a snail’s pace), while the USB PD standard supported by USB-C can deliver a massive 100W of power, which is more than enough to charge a laptop.
The very small USB port found on many non-Apple cellphones, tablets and other portable devices is a Micro USB socket. Considerably smaller than USB Type A and B, Micro USB is also half the thickness of Mini USB (see illustration below).
To replace microUSB with USB-C connector in an application that needs USB data lines too along with USB power, you need to have a USB-C connector with all pins exposed. An example of such a connector is the TYPE-C-31-M-12.

Type A is the "original" USB connector and is the most recognizable and commonly used connector. USB Type-A connectors are supported in every USB version, including USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and USB 1.1. USB 3.0 Type-A connectors are often, but not always, the color blue.
