We need your precise model number but the key is does the laptop have a usb-C port that is also Thunderbolt 3 compatible. Not sure any of the x360s with 6th gen processor do have such a thing. With a Thunderbolt 3 based eGPU (HP even makes one) you could run a GeForce GTX 1080 video card if you buy a lot of extra expensive hardware using the laptop as the CPU of a desktop-type setup. Otherwise it is a non-starter and you need to think in terms of doing your work with a different computer.
