Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

The H170 chipset supports Thunderbolt, but... the MB OEM would have to provide this functionality (Thunderbolt controller).

 

You are correct, having a type C port does not guarantee Thunderbolt support.

 

This article (Link) may provide some workarounds. It is a very expensive proposition to do this upgrade. I refer you to this topic because I consider a AIO PC to be a Laptop/Notebook by design.

 

The best path to AAA gaming is to purchase a PC capable of doing this out of the box.

 

Regards
