Question
Is there a Thunderbolt port available on the Microsoft Surface Go?

No there isn’t! Actually, all generations of Microsoft Surface Go have only a single USB-C port. It’s a USB Type-C 3.1 port with a maximum bandwidth of 5 Gbps and doesn’t support Thunderbolt technology.
This port can output one 4K video at 60Hz or two 4K videos at 30Hz. For reference, here are the full specifications of the Type-C port among all Surface Go model generations.
