go to start menu>control panel>system>hardware>device manager> usb controller

if it says enhanced controller it is more than likely usb 2.0 sometiems it will say usb 2.0 clearly

Welcome to the lounge. Go to my computer and right click, select manage>disk management. Go down to Universal Serial bus and click on the + to open. Look and see if you see something that says "Enhanced". If you do, you have USB 2.0, if you don't, you have 1.0.

yuo can also see on startup, or in the bios.

OR download a program such as sandra lite and look at the motherboard specs
