Your computer comes with two USB ports compatible with USB devices.

automatically installs a driver for that device. After the driver has been installed, you can
disconnect and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps.

automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver before connecting. Check
the documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer before connecting the device.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring
data to that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows
notification area to remove the device before disconnecting.
Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before connecting it.
