USB 2 v USB 3 or 2 USB 2 or not 2 USB 3
USB 2 v USB 3 or 2 USB 2 or not 2 USB 3
To get maximum performance out of your USB peripherals make sure you plug USB 2 devices into USB 2 sockets and USB 3 devices into USB 3 sockets
For example is a waste to plug a mouse into a USB 2 socket and you can increased your USB 3 disk drive from 30M/s to 80M/s if its plugged into a USB 3 socket.
So how do you tell ?
- USB 3 sockets are often BLUE
- Run Device Manager and Order by Connection
- Use a hdd case that has a power light showing you the speed (the SALCAR SATA USB 3 case power LED glows WHITE for USB2 and BLUE for USB3)
- Manually test transfer speeds in different sockets

now @microsoftuk has given windows 7 an extended life here are 7 ways they could improve the #windows7 #update #ux so that someone doing a clean windows 7 install doesnt need to spend all day
- fix the broken IE download website so you can use IE 8 to download IE 11 instead of having to download @mozilla #firefox to download IE 11
- fix windows 7 update so you dont have to download IE 11 first (unknown error 8007000E)
- ROLLUP the windows 7 update patchs so you dont have to spend a whole day downloading 180 patches (totalling over 1G)
- sequence downloads by date (ie 2017, 2018 then 2019) so they are installed in correct date order instead of a random order
- dont prompt to reboot while system processes (ie software reporter) are still using 100% cpu
- dont say updates are complete when you will get another 12 updates if you click check for updates again
- defer all malicious software removal tools to the end of the updates
next week we will look at 10 ways @microsoftuk could improve the windows 10 update ux
