How to Tell If Your Computer Has USB 1.1 or 2
- 1). Go to the "My Computer" shortcut on the desktop. If the shortcut is not there, open the Start menu and go to "My Computer" from there.
- 2). Click on the Control Panel, which is on "Other Places" on the left hand side of the "My Computer" page.
- 3). Access the System menu. Click on the "Hardware" tab. Go to the Device Manager. A list of all the types of connection in your computer will show up.
- 4). Open the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" menu. On this page you will see many different types of USB controllers. If you see the word "enhanced" anywhere, you have a USB 2.0 connection. There are Ali, NEC, Intel, VIA, SiS, and Standard USB 2.0 connections.
