I bought a laptop from hp a year ago, and would like to retrofit the usb 3.1 port thunderbolt 3. First of all that works, after my thinking actually not that I ask here and secondly how can I retrofit

Th

No do not go. Must have the motherboard, if it does not have such a connection, you can't retrofit.

But what do you need that for?

Sk

Maybe connect egpu

Th

Alright, if you have the money. An EGPU is not really worthwhile. Because you better get a better laptop. Whereby a laptop is not meant for gambling.

No, USB is queued by the CPU, Thunderbolt runs directly via PCIe, these are two different standards that are completely different to the CPU.

You need a board with two or four PCIe lanes hangs a TB3 completion, you can't retrofit.
