    Some Alienware Systems with USB Type-C Port Lack a Thunderbolt 3 Controller

    You may encounter an issue where a Dell Latitude system with a USB Type-C port will not support a connection to a Thunderbolt 3 device (such as a Dell Thunderbolt Dock (TB16). This is a result of either:
    The system does not meet the hardware requirements for Thunderbolt 3
    The system has the capability but was not ordered with an OPTIONAL Thunderbolt 3 controller

    Cause
    NOTE: If the system was not ordered with the Thunderbolt 3 options, it cannot be added at a later time.
