Device Manager

On the View menu, click Devices by type

If the word "Enhanced" is included in any of the listed controllers, your computer has USB 2.0 controller drivers installed.

In the details pane, click the plus sign to the left of Other devices Then, under Other devices right-click Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller, and then click Update Driver
