How to connect and disconnect USB devices under Win8 system

The USB device is one of the easiest devices to connect to your computer and is one of the most convenient devices. It helps us quickly connect keyboards, mice, printers, etc., and has a wide range of uses. Now that USB devices have been updated to 3.0, USB 3.0 runs 10 times faster than previous USB 2.0. Of course, whether it is 2.0 or 3.0, you need to connect when your USB device is plugged into the computer. It needs to be disconnected when not in use. Below we will explain in detail how the Win8 system connects and disconnects USB devices.

If your USB device comes with instructions, use this information to install the device. Otherwise, please follow the general instructions below.

Steps for installing a USB device

1. If your device has a power cord, insert it.

2. Connect the device to your computer using a separate cable or cord attached to the device. Make sure to use the USB 3.0 port for USB 3.0 devices. If you don't have a USB 3.0 port, you can use the most convenient available port.

3. Open your device and wait for Windows to find and install the appropriate driver.

4. After the installation is complete, check the information that came with the device to see if you need to install additional software.

Note: If the device does not work properly when plugging an earlier USB device into the USB 3.0 port, try connecting it to a USB 2.0 port.

Most USB devices can be pulled out directly, such as a keyboard or mouse. However, before you unplug a storage device (such as a USB drive), make sure you have saved the file to the drive before you can remove it. We also recommend that you eject the drive to ensure that all activity on the drive is complete.
