I just purchased a Surface Laptop Studio and realized that there is no USB port on the laptop. I did see that there is a USB port on the "power brick" of the laptop charger. I tried connecting a mouse via usb using the port on the charger and that did not work. I also tried plugging in a USB thumb drive storage device to the USB port on the charger and it won't open that either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Laura,
I moved your post from Studio 2 to Surface Laptop Studio as you mention you have a Surface LAPTOP Studio.
The Surface Laptop Studio has two (2) USB-C ports on the left side of the device in the keyboard section.
If your needs are simple and you don't need all the ports on a USB-C hub, you can get an adapter for USB-A to USB-C like this one (which I the one I use) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYTHCXV
The USB port on the power brick is to power other USB devices like charging a cellular phone or other devices. It cannot be used for data devices or devices like mice/keyboard adapters.
The laptop is listed as having two USB-C ports and to use regular USB devices, you will need a USB-C Hub adapter a little like the one on the link below.
