Question about MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G

I have a special question, I hope I am summarising this correctly. I have an HP notebook that does not have 4k but only a full HD display. I would now like to have 4k resolution with an additional 2nd display (4k screen) for gaming. I have seen the video and therefore now this question. Could I play 4k games and also still have 4k resolution with an additional 4k screen? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_y5j57_eOg I have seen that with an additional ''docking station'' (accelerator) (an external graphics card (GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming x 8G) and play 4k games) and can play 4k games: HP OMEN by HP Accelerator GA1 (External) The whole thing is connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port, which of course my notebook also has, of course. So, what I have understood now: I can play 4k games on my notebook 4k games smoothly on my notebook with this ''docking station'' without any stutters. Logically, I still don't have a 4k resolution in the display because display because my notebook ONLY has Full-HD. But this solves the first problem for the time being (judder) is solved. But now I would also like to have 4k resolution in the display. Now my main question: if I take an additional 4k screen and then connect it, will I also have 4k resolution on my additional 4k screen even though my notebook only has Full HD? I would like to buy this ''docking station'' (Accelerator) but but I am not sure if it works. It is still quite new on the market and you can't find much about it on the internet. Sorry for the question, I don't know much about it, I'm a beginner, otherwise I wouldn't ask, I'm very new in the gaming world. This is my first graphics card I'm buying. Other information about the notebook: HP Spectre x360 Intel® Core™ i7-7500U Working memory 16GB Processor clock speed up to 3.50GHz (with turbo) Graphics card HD Graphics 620 (Intel)

Yes, that is possible. The monitor is then connected to the external graphics card and can thus operate the 4k screen. Simply connect the accelerator and install the driver, then it should work.
