Can I get 120hz on my TV Monitor by connecting my laptop to it?

I understand I don’t have a HDMI 2.1 port but could do this through USB-C? Thanks

Are we assuming it's a 4K / 120hz TV?

I've got a convertor like this on one of my laptops, but it's a HP one and I know it supports DP over USB-C, which I don't know your laptop does.

Hi yes 4k at 120hz.

This is the exact cable I’ve ordered. So I just need to use this cable and then connect to HDMI 2.1 & I’ll get 120hz on my TV?

Thanks!

If your laptop supports display over USB-C, which is not clear from your specs (I know the newer Recoil models do, but your's in a few generations old).

I think it’s DP 1.2 which I don’t think will support 120hz unfortunately. Oh well.

Not at 4k, only 60hz.
