I have a HP Pavilion 15-p251na with radeon 7620g grapics. Im looking to upgrade this by replacing it or maybe use some sort of external gpu, has anyone had any experiences with this or have any info?
Thanks.

Tb is not the only port for egpus. That laptop like just about every laptop on the market has mpcie for the wireless card. The issue with your model is there is no easy access to it. You pretty much have to take the whole thing apart to get to it.

I see, thanks. I heard the eGPU is possible but would have a huge bottleneck in my laptop. It might seem a bit far fetched but is it possible to add thunderbolt to my laptop?

No, actually there's nothing else you can upgrade other than changing the hard drive for a SSD. Thunderbolt is not even compatible with that chipset as far as I know. Even if it was, it's something that has to be built into the motherboard and cannot be connected externally.
