Hi! @Alb3456, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

 

I understand that you would like to upgrade the USB port on your laptop to USB 3.0. 

 

You cannot upgrade the USB port because upgrading to USB 3.0 would require a whole new motherboard.

 

As USB  ports are integrated to system boards on a laptop you cannot upgrade.

 

 

 

Let me know if this helps!

Have a wonderful day ahead! 🙂
