Hello, I have a problem with not having the right amount of USB 3.0. The laptop has 2 USB 2.0 ports and 1 USB 3.0 port. Can I replace USB 2.0 ports with USB 3.0? Any method is important to me. (Even if it costs a lot of money)

No, you can increase USB 3.0 ports using a hub for example

>>>>> (Even if it costs a lot of money)

Buy a new machine BUT many of them only have 1 or 2 ports. You still need a hub.

 

Regards.
