Default Re: Thunderbolt Via USB 3.1 Gen 2

The short answer is: Thunderbolt support can't be added (my understanding is that, even for PC motherboards that have optional Thunderbolt cards, that still requires specific motherboard support). Macs either have it or don't.

Thunderbolt 3 uses USB Type C connectors, also used by USB 3.1, which of course can be super-confusing.
