HP Omen GA1-10 Accelerator - Using without thunderbolt

[ezrack]

Right, let's start by saying I am really stupid. I get that now but I still need help, please, if anyone can.

I have purchased the HP Omen GA1-10 Accelerator and a new graphic's card based on website reviews, youtube videos and owning a somewhat old but usable pc. The problem is I don't really understand much about PC stuff and I didn't notice anywhere (reviews, how to's, videos) that it worked through the thunderbolt conection.

Is there any way, at all, to use the Omen Accelerator without having a thunderbolt port on my PC?

Again, I know i'm stupid but it's really not that old of a system, just terrible graphics.

@ezrack, welcome to the forum.

Hey, don't beat yourself up too badly.   We have all made mistakes; especially when it comes to technology.  Everything changes so quickly.  As my moto states, Wisdom is the sum of our mistakes.

If you will provide me with the make/model of the computer I will try to help you figure out how to make the Accelerator work.

Thank you for the kind message.

The PC I have is an Acer Aspire ZC-107. It is an all-in-one system and has been upgraded to Windows 10.

Thank you for the additional information, @ezrack.

I read the specifications for your AIO carefully.  I am sorry to say that there doesn't appear to be a way to add a Thunderbolt adapter.  There is no manufacturer making adapters for USB 3.0 to Thunderbolt at this time.
