Retrofit Thunderbolt on PC and Mac - all information

• Unfortunately, retrofitting Thunderbolt is a little more complicated and, depending on the model, can also be more expensive.
• If you have an Asus motherboard, you have the option of retrofitting this extension via PCI Express.
• However, if you have a different motherboard, this extension is unfortunately not supported.
• As a result, you either have to buy and install a new motherboard or use a so-called Thunderbolt station.
