Here is the spec page for that model

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-500-100-desktop-pc-series/5395585/model/6382723/doc...

It indicates that model has both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports available.  USB 3.0 ports are in the front.

There is no way to "upgrade" the ports already there, but, depending on what you are expecting, perhaps add the ports by installing a PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0) card that employs the desired port.
