HP ProBook 440 G9 Notebook PC Graphical upgrade options

[Fenilo]

I was wondering if there are any options to upgrade the laptops graphical power. 
I am considering an eGPU, but am conserned about the compatibility and the lack of ThunderBolt. I want to know what eGPUs work both with USB-C and the laptop, while also considering if the lack of Thunderbolt makes it impossible to connect an eGPU resulting in better performance than the intergrated graphical prosessor. I don't care much about portabillity or power consumption, but I do not want to switch laptops.

If connecting the eGPU to USB-C is insufficient for a power boost, it would be fun to explore the options of using an M.2 port instead. I was also wondering if my model has space and ports for a dedicated GPU, but does not have the GPU. In that case I was wondering if technically it was possible to install the appropriate GPU? I know this is ridiculous, but it would certainly be a fun (and extremly risky) project.

For an eGPU to work, your laptop needs to have USB Type-C Thunderbolt Gen 3 or 4.

Your laptop has USB Type-C Gen 2, which does not have the high data transfer rate needed.

I know that, but are there not any workarounds?

[erico]

With your laptop, the answer is no.

There must be some eGPUs with USB-C 3.2 connection?

I wish you the best of success in finding one that will work with usb type-c Gen 2.
