Is it possible to upgrade the USB-C port or HDMI port on a laptop?

So there's absolutely no way to get 4k 60Hz unless I replace the entire laptop?
The model is: Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 82L5009DMH bought in September of 2022

So where is #1 in this image, this is confusing me. Regardless, lets focus on #4.
If I'm reading this correctly, one of those USB-C ports supports video, most likely DisplayPort Alt-Mode. I really wish this was better documented but i'm working with what I got.
If we're going to assume its the port labeled #4, what I'd try first is this quality CableMatters Type C to HDMI 2.1 adapter.
Its possible the Type C port will only do DisplayPort Alt mode in which case you'd want to use this, then this.
No guarantee any of this will work, shit gets weird with the state of HDMI and Type C.
