In Windows 10: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers (what a stupid hierarchy). Select the drive in question and look at the bottom status bar. Will show "Connected to USB n.0", where n is 2 or 3. No extraneous software necessary.

i bought 2.0 usb's for work (it says in the USB, 2.0) and gave it out to my workmates. they can't use it on company tv.
i have an old USB which is 2.10 (as TreeViewer said), it worked. would 3.0 work? is 3.0 usb sticks compatible to any devices or just in many devices?
my 2.10 usb stick has red inside and my port has black inside...

My antivirus said the downloaded programme resembles known malware. Not going to chance it.
