Question
Does Surface Pro 8 have a full-size USB port?
Answer
No, it doesn’t. Unfortunately, there is no USB-A or Full-Size USB port available on all Surface Pro 8 models. Microsoft has decided to remove the port with its new design and two new Thunderbolt™️ 4 ports in Surface Pro 8. Therefore, you will need a USB-C to USB-A dongle, hub, or dock to connect to your USB-A devices.
Here are all the ports, buttons, and slots available on Surface Pro 8.

Let us know what you think!
We appreciate hearing your thoughts, questions, and ideas about “Does Surface Pro 8 have USB-A port?”.
I should have done homework before I purchased it. I thought it was similar to the Surface 6. I was fortunate that I had a DATALOGIXX external backup drive on hand.
I agree, I am very disappointed in it not having a regular USB-A port.
Not completely true…there is a USB-A port on the power brick. Not ideal, but I also have a long 10ft multi-port cable which gives me the reach to charge things. Again, not ideal, but there is one available.
Thank you for that comment. Have you tried to transferred files from here? I plugged my thumb drive in but nothing happen. I wasn’t told when I purchased this that there was no USB-A port to transfer my files. Can you help me out?
Extremely disappointed. This unfortunately is not an upgrade am happy with, cant connect usb or mouse.
Recommend getting a blue tooth mouse. I had one on my old surface, which also came with the USB-A port. and you can get a decent-priced one through Logitech.
Enttäuschend. Ich wollte eigentlich von meinem S.Pro5 auf das 8er umsteigen, aber wenn ich sehe, was (warum auch immer?!) weggefallen ist, USB-A und MicroSD Slot sind absolute Key Features, dann MUSS ich leider vom Wechsel absehen. IMHO müssen Nachfolger MEHR Connectivität bieten und nicht weniger. Vllt. denkt MS mal darüber nach und darüber, nicht den ?-Leuten
falsch folgen! Zusätzlich(!) zu den genannten Streichungen wäre es mal schlau gewesen ein LTE bzw. 5G Modem zu verbauen…..aber nee?!
What the hell is wrong with the Microsoft engineers, do they not live on the same planet as the reset of us? All most computer peripherals are USB-A. Idiots!!
Microsoft just lost a customer over not having a USB A port. Sorry but it is a dealt breaker. I’ll stick with my old tablet. BTW the only reason I did not choose iPad or Samsung tablets WAS due to the USB-A port. Ah well.
