Product: Envy 750-103D
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I tried to install an USB3.0 4-port PCI Express Host Controller but unfortunately the power supply doesn't have any spare power cable to connect to the PCI-e.

Is there a spare power connector on the motherboard for connecting the power cable to the PCI-e?

That card requires a molex Female connector.  (Molex F).

Look at the spare leads from your power supply.  Likely you have a spare SATA power lead.

Now adapt with any of these to accomplish your needs:

SATA to SATA splitter      SATA male to molex F   Short SATA male to molex F
