    Not possible, It would involve changing the motherboard as thunderbolt is part of the Intel chipset.

    USB-C/DisplayPort?

    Yes, you can use an active USB-to-video DP or HDMI signal converter for data-only USB ports that don't natively support video DP or HDMI signal output. Other users have reported the following signal converters work on data-only USB ports. Refresh rates for USB video signal converters are usually limited to 30Hz so they may not be suitable for some video games.
