Solved! Acer Swift 3 SF314 USB C Port Upgrade

[Connoru]

I recently attempted to use DisplayPort(monitor) to USB- C (acer swift SF314) alt mode to use monitor as second display.
After doing some research I found out that I had USB C 3.0 gen one which can't transmit video.
I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade a USB C 3.0 Gen 1 to a USB C 3.0 Gen 2

nope. it is hardware on the system board.

@rgd1101
Can you check if the model I sent can be upgraded even if an adapter would be needed

 

[rgd1101]
