Hello,

 

I am using the blue USB ports on the back of my PC Win10 to plug in a USB WI-FI adapter. I would like to benefit from the USB 3.0 speed, but I get the message, "Device can perform faster when connected to USB 3.0."

 

I've already updated to the latest USB drivers and BIOS version (03.08 Rev.A).

 

On USB Device Viewer, I can see 4 USB SS ports available (below), but no matter which physical port I plug my devices into, they are never one of these 4 ports.

 

Are these USB 3.0 really available? How can I activate them?

 

I appreciate any help. Thanks!
