7050 SFF Thunderbolt
I want to install a Thunderbolt PCIe card.
Article Number: 000148313 says that I should be able to enable Thunderbolt in the BIOS after an update.
I have an 7050 SFF i7 6700. The BIOS is 1.19.0. I cannot find where I should enable Thunderbolt
Can anyone help me
Thanks
Ted Loukes

@Ted Loukes , don't be surprise if you find flat Earthers in here. Dell actually sells Thunderbolt PCIe card for your system. Dell even has Thunderbolt 4 card priced cheaper than Thunderbolt 3.

Thanks for the replies, both were helpful.
Reply @Ted Loukes Did you have any luck with either of those cards in your 7050?
Contemplating using one of these with a KVM dock.
Thanks!Reply

No such thing as Thunderbolt card. Unless board has thunderbolt controller on the motherboard with thunderbolt header its not EVER happening.
Intel gave up on proprietary thunderbolt so new systems call it USB 4.
