Connecting an External Device
Connecting to the USB port:
Your computer comes with one USB 2.0 port and one USB 3.0 port compatible with USB
devices.
Once you plug a USB device into a USB port on your computer, Windows automatically
loads a driver for that device. After the driver has been loaded one time, you can
disconnect and reconnect the same device without performing any additional steps.
If Windows requires you to install the driver before connecting, check the
documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer before connecting the device.
To disconnect a USB storage device, make sure you click the Safely Remove
Hardware icon (as shown on the left) in the notification area of the taskbar to
remove the device before disconnecting.
