How to identify USB Ports in Device Manager?

Question

How can I identify which items in Device Manager indicate actual, physical USB Ports?

Answer 1

I usually use USBTreeView utility to see all USB connections, and then plug a USB device and see which port it will appear on.

Answer 2

On PCs, USB 'buses' are referred to as hubs. Identify your USB devices in Sound, Video and Game Controllers (or alternatively directly on the USB hubs) You can have a look at Device Manager-right click the usb device and find the port location. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/fc2011f7-c84a-43d7-8a11-821aff3a82ab/a-little-question-about-usb-ports-in-windows7?forum=w7itprohardware
