Can i make a internal harddrive external for games for a laptop that supports usb type c?

Pretty much the title. Will there be a performance issue if I do this or am i better off using a external harddrive? Its only to expand my game library on a laptop

You want to install games to an external harddrive which is connected to your laptop via USB? I wouldn't recommend it. You would certainly notice a performance drop.
