I doubt your laptop will provide the needed 3.1, or so, Amps. A powered hub would be better, but most of those don't provide that much current either. Sidehack makes his own powered hub for this purpose. Windoze doesn't work well, most people use a Pi 4 and a GekkoScience Hub.
Make sure you have a good fan on it too.
Thank you very much for your answer.
I have the hub from the same provider BitcomMerch.com, so I hope it has enough power.
I doubt also that the laptop would have a USB 3.x, so I guess I will look for another laptop that does.
I saw a video showing how to setup the USB miner to a Raspberry Pi, however I am not so knowledgeable in that regard, so I will stay with the laptop, eventually a desktop.
I am thinking later on to purchase an antminer, and now I am just "wetting" my feet a bit to see how it goes.
Have a great day
