Pc or laptop.
Some of these usb-c is actually thunderbolt port which can use for display output and faster file transfer compared to normal usb speed.

See there got power delivery marking or not

pc, those usb-c u talking about are multi purpose ? they can auto change between additional display and general purpose usb ?

can use for lan ethernet adapter
can cucuk fon

Follow apple. Ask u to use dongle

What model? check the spec.

Nearly half way through 2023 liao, still got seisohai don't understand that USB-C is a connector type.

The transport is what matters. Check la your manual.

Usb C is the new standard for some time alrdy

is 2023...................

B460 Strix i buy 3 years ago already usb-c on mobo i/o panel

More is coming since it can be backward compatible. At least now you have native port

What TS mean by "reduced usb-a"? Usb 2.0 spec? If pc don't come with usb-a (doubt it since rear port usually have for mouse and keyboard) can buy usb-c hub with usb-a ports.

i mean last time when you buy a mobo, it can have like 6-12 usb-a ports on the mobo(exclude pins only on the mobo), with limited back-panel size, they cant add more, so they change to usb-c which is much smaller, to allow them to use the extra space for other purposes.

depends on the manufacturer, my current x570 motherboard only have 1 usb-c

Now where got people use USB A?

TS is 10 years outdated

Only B40 use USB A.

Don't be stupid
Nobody use USB A now. It's damn slow

if you cant use your brain, then dont post, if you wanna post, make sure it goes through your brain 1st.

not all usb device need high speed, like mouse, keyboard, bluetooth, speaker, even cheapo pendrive dont need high speed.

usb-a is connector, it can go upto 10gbps using usb 3.2, it might not be as good as usb-c, but its no longer "slow"

Who da pak use wired mouse and keyboard ?

You should use brain bro!

Bluetooth is wireless , use USB A for what?

Don't show your dumbness bro!!!

you are the idiot, do u know what the fuck is usb a ?

all mouse keyboard wired or wireless, all give usb-a, for what ? so u can connect it to your pc ? u on weed ?

Gamers do, bluetooth latency is too high. You'll need to use a proprietary wireless protocol like logitech lightspeed to achieve good input latency. That requires you to use their dongle, which takes up a USB slot. Unfortunately lightspeed dongles are still USB-A if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry I am too high end. All my USB A is at my monitor

And I use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse

No dongle

Ya but nowadays with USC Monitor, can just put all your dongle at your monitor

I rather have more USB C at my PC than USB A.

Even my x370 mobo also got USB c liao

for years never upgrade my mobo and cpu, changed m.2 hdd, display card, but not mobo and cpu.

i feel cant get any improvement changing those.

Lenovo pc mobo?

Is this on laptop?

A lot of laptops have Type C already. The low to mid range laptops would have at least 1 Type C and 1-2 Type A. High end laptops would have 1 to 2 Type C. Especially the slim ones.

At the moment only branded desktop Pc comes with type C. Most of the DIY ones does not have it unless you buy the case that has it. Only expensive motherboards has type C on the back IO. Cheap boards does not have it.

Hmm branded desktop, my HP desktop usb c cannot plug in
Casing problem

The new ones made from 2017. I saw HP/ Dell/ Lenovo has it. But surprisingly the AIO ones does not have.

My old thread, cable come with phone, buy new cable cannot plug, because casing blocked

lenovo better triple check ask whether those can be used to power the external monitor or can be used as display.

More pricy motherboard normally has usb-c port built-in. USB-C is more versatile since not only it has faster speed, it can also power and support display easily.

Bluetooth keyboard can enter bios/uefi? BT mouse work inside the menu?

i think bluetooth wont work until it boot into the OS, so no.

I am actually interested to know, if I want to connect my portable monitor with a USB-C connector, using the USB-A port from a Windows 10 desktop, what kind of adaptor and/or software driver I need to use?

Portable monitor has 2 USB-C ports, I can connect one of them to power it using a charger, so power is not an issue. All I need is to output display signal from the desktop. The USB-C port has been verified to work since I can get display from a notebook with a USB-C port.

The desktop PC is running Windows 10, but has no USB-C port. It has many USB3.x ports so there should be enough speed to power FHD display. I has tried connect a USB cable with USB-A on one end and USB-C on the other end, but that does not transmit any display signal.

I wonder if any adaptor or software driver can solve this issue.
