Does XP SP3 Home support USB3? To use an USB3 port, will you have to buy
new devices; printer, keyboard and mouse etc?
Thank you,

Do you actually expect ANY operating system to support hardware that didn't
exist until 100 years later? 10 years later? 1 year later? If the
hardware doesn't exist during the development of an OS, just how could
embedded support be included within it?
If you are still using an old OS but need support for new hardware then you
need to check with the hardware maker if they provide the software (usually
drivers) to add support to the older OS. They may if they perceive enough
of their potential customer base to still be using that old OS. However,
they may decide to not support that old OS and pick a market where they have
the most likely candidates for customers along with reducing their costs for
supporting their products on an old OS that is no longer supported even by
the OS maker.
