Although my laptop also doesn’t have USB3, fortunately USB3 is backwards compatible with USB2.0 which therefore means this USB-C adaptor is quite happy to talk to my USB2.0 port. It’s a USB-C female to USB3 male adaptor. First thing you’re gonna need is one of these… So here’s how I added USB-C to my Macbook. I hate having to carry a support team worth of crap just for a laptop. Without a USB-C port I find there’s a few bits and pieces I can’t use without also hauling around an adaptor.
