Can you convert usb 1.0 to usb 2.0?

USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 are similar but USB 2.0 provides for a much faster data transfer rate. The USB 1.0 specification operates at 12Mbit/s and the USB 2.0 specification operates at 480Mbits/s Although a 1.0 device cannot operate at 2.0 speeds, the two are compatible. Connecting a USB 1.0 device to a USB 2.0 port or connecting a USB 2.0 device to a USB 1.0 port are both possible. Any device, port or hub that is a 1.0 standard will reduce the data rate to the 1.0 standard. The USB 2.0 specification was adopted in 2001 and most USB devices now conform to the later standard. Older computers may have USB 1.0 ports fitted but will still operate without problems for most applications.
