Notice the lightning sign also present on the port next to it? Means HP Sleep and Charge. Thunderbolt is a bigger lightning bolt. Don't shoot the messenger I did not design it that way and recognize its confusing. There is no way to swap a video card in as the video system is some chips soldered to the motherboard. Your model series may have a motherboard with slightly better graphics but not up to the level of gaming you are likely wanting and at a very high price.

The USB-C is not Thunderbolt so will not drive an eGPU

But it has a lightning sign on it.  If egpu is not possible then is there an upgrable graphic card i can swap inside the laptop?

Means the laptop will still put out electricity to charge a device most usually a phone even when in sleep mode.
