In Device Manager, if it's USB 2.0 you should see the word "Enhanced" under
the USB Controllers.

Wow, Cari. That's news to me! Great idea.

Another way is to plug, say, a USB flash drive into one of the open ports.
If the flash drive is less than 2 years old and your USB ports are the older
1.1, there will be a window alert to the fact that faster data transfer can
be had quicker by upgrading the ports to 2.0
