Does the computer have the USB-C/TB3 hole on the board by chance? If not, you’ll also need a new upper chassis as well.
I’m doing some research on this, and it looks like the option is a different motherboard so [link|https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=category&id=142&subid=1017&refine=motherboard|you’d need to change the **entire** motherboard] most likely :(. Sad to say, if you bought this used in error you’re better off putting back on the market and making sure the next one supports TB3 - if bought new, live with it or sell it depending on how bad you want TB3.

Even then, Dell seems to have a lot of USB-C/TB3 stability issues, so you may have avoided a problem here as weird as that seems. They seem to even have trouble with FIRMWARE UPDATES resolving the issue as well. Win10 21H1 doesn’t even help the issue, so it’s something with their USB-C/TB3 firmware. My HP EliteBook (840 G3) lacks TB3, but it’s USB-C port is stable so HP and Lenovo* do not seem to have any issues like Dell. Sad to say, Dell isn’t what they used to be between the plastic chassis, unstable TB3/USB-C firmware and cheap batteries that are known to expand. They went downhill with Skylake :-(. '''Their crappy build quality and crappy USB-C/TB3 firmware is why I bought an HP when I was looking for a replacement to retire my E7440 gradually! And in addition, they have had issues with soft cell pack expansion for years, and my E7440 is one of the notorious systems - OUCH!'''
