Hello, I have an oldish Dell Studio 1555 laptop. Fitted a SSD, upgraded (?) to Windows 10. Now neither of the USB ports work. Under Universal Serial Bus controllers there are 8 or so entries, each with a yellow triangle (not working).
If I add Ubuntu (dual boot, is that the word?) will that help the situation or could it be a hardware issue rather than software? If I want the option of Win 10 or Ubuntu on start up, how do I do it? I have Ubuntu 20.4 on a USB stick, but the ports may not work.
I need Cura on a 64 bit machine, my PC is Ubuntu on 32 bit, so no good.
Very tempted to launch the laptop and buy a new PC with no operating system for a clean Ubuntu install.
