    Yes. Microsoft does not have a native driver for USB3.0 for Windows 7, so the port will not function as USB3.0 unless you can find and install a 3rd party driver for that port.

    You should check the laptop support site for a USB 3.0 driver, sometime they have special drivers for them.

    There are plenty of USB3 drivers as far as I can see.

    It depends on the make of hardware he has....if he installs the wrong driver, then gets the keys to BSOD City.
