    Hello,

    It is far from my intention to make a remark, but your question is perfectly incomprehensible...

    THANK YOU for your response....

    My big computer is at home.
    I have to take care of my mother every weekend, so I set up a small computer, on which it’s impossible to listen to or watch movies (because there’s no input).
    I want to connect a printer as well as a graphics tablet. HOW DO I DO THAT? Do I need to buy an accessory? Or is the USB port enough?

    I’m not very good with my computer, and I don’t always understand all the terms.
    It would be nice if you have a solution.

    No problem :)

    So: on a USB port you can... connect anything. The USB system indeed ensures both the transport of power (when the device doesn't consume too much) and data. Generally, the limitation is due to the number of USB ports available on the computer.

    For the accessories you want to connect, choose those with USB (almost 100% of the devices sold are USB, which is convenient). If there is only one port on your mom's computer, also get a USB hub (it's the equivalent of a power strip). You can see some models here. It costs between 5 and 30 EUR max (don't buy a more expensive one, it's not necessary).

    In general, USB devices are "plug and play" (when you plug them in, Windows automatically detects what they are and configures everything accordingly).

    In case of any issues/doubts or if I wasn't clear, don't hesitate!
