[dc78001]

My laptop HP Pavilion DV6 has no signs of "ss", "2.0", or "3.0". It has all ports of USB in Black/grey tongue.

Please check the image of my device manager. Tell me it has USB 3.0 port or not.

i checked it with "HP Support Assistant", i installed "HP Support Assistant", it showed me

MY PC Product name: HP Pavilion Notebook Serial number: Product number: A3x35UA#ABA click here to view image

i pasted A3x35UA#ABA in google search engine and got model name "HP Pavilion dv6-6172nr" , i searched "HP Pavilion dv6-6172nr" specification, i found it has 2 USB Port 2.0 and 2 USB Port 3.0 . https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03068259

But again problem is: When i connect my Kingston 3.0 usb in all 4 usb ports, which are in Black/Grey color but not Blue, my system said:"It can perform faster, if it is connected with Super Speed 3.0 ports"

**1)** **but why ? if my laptop have 3.0 why this message appear while connecting 3.0 usb in ports....**

**2)** IF my laptop have USB Ports 3.0 ports, i have 4 ports, my question is >>> which are 2.0 and 3.0 ?

Any USB 3 ports on your computer should be labelled, in one of the following ways:

showing that "Super Speed" icon, or:

Note the "blue" colour of the "tongue".

Also, note that if you connect a USB 3 device into a USB 2 port, Windows may report "this device can perform faster if you connect it to a USB 3 port" (or wording something like that).

P.S. If you don't see the above images, wait an hour, for a "moderator" to "approve" the image (presumably, they do not want "Not Suitable For Work" images to automatically be visible).

NOTE: Depending on your computer model, your computer may be equipped with 2 USB 3.0 ports,

which connect optional USB 3.0 devices and provide enhanced USB power performance.

USB 3.0 ports are also compatible with USB 1.0 and 2.0 devices.
