Windows 10: Is there a way to connect my USB1 device to my current computer ?

My current desktop only has USB3.
Is there a way of connecting my legacy USB1 device ? (e.g. hardware adapter)

:)

 

Is there a way I can my desktop my primary device to run Windows on instead of my laptop?

Reserving WILL delay getting win 10 according to Zdnet and others

Starting on July 29, we will start rolling out Windows 10 to our Windows Insiders. From there, we will start notifying reserved systems in waves, slowly scaling up after July 29th. Each
day of the roll-out, we will listen, learn and update the experience for all Windows 10 users.

If you reserved your copy of Windows 10, we will notify you once our compatibility work confirms you will have a great experience, and Windows 10 has been downloaded on your system.

There is no need to "reserve" anything. It is merely marketing on the part of MS to "encourage" users to upgrade. They will be happy to upgrade any qualifying OS during the first year for free and it will remain free for the life of the device when it
is released on July 29

You gain nothing by "reserving" other than giving Microsoft an email address to spam you at. You will not get it any sooner, nor will there be any other advantage. In FACT, if you reserve you may get it later as this statement from Microsoft explains

Your data should be seamlessly updated but as usual if you value your data BACK IT UP

Just perform the reservation on that computer if you have it ready before the 29th.

By July 29th though, any computer running Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 will be eligible.

 

A USB 3 port actually has wiring for both USB 3 and USB 2. The USB 2 port should be compatible with your USB 1 device.

Plug it in and try it.

Check your BIOS for "USB Legacy mode".

 

Thanks. I looked and legacy is turned on.
I also enabled XHCI hand off.
No change.

 

According to this, if you plug a usb2 hub (easy to get) into usb3, and connnect usb1 device to hub, it works.

This is the strange thing. My Win10 laptop (which is 9yrs old) recongizes the device and correctly assigns the right driver to it (called "AKM322").My Win10 desktop, where the problem is, actually does recognize it but assigns a different driver to it called "AKM322_Bootloader". And this doesn't work.

Win10 on both computers, updated to the same level. I'm thinking it must be a hardware issue with the USB ports. I actually do have a USB2 hub and tried plugging it in through that but same result.
Puzzling. *sarc

 

Is this proof that my device is USB1? This is in the driver properties:

 

Google those numbers, it seams to be some audio device.

 

Ok, if anyone with the same issue stumbles on this thread, I found the solution.The device itself was in firmware update mode and wasn't fully available for use, so it wasn't a USB1 2 3 issue.
You basically need to flash its firmware again.This reddit thread helped me. PTL! : )
