Surface Pro through Surface Pro 6 have USB 3.0 type A ports. Surface Pro 7 and 7+ have 1 USB 3.0 type A ports. Surface Pro 8 and higher drop the USB3.0 type A ports and offer only USB-C ports. Do you know what model you have? Open the Surface app.. Download it from the Store if you don't have it and this will identify your Surface.

Sorry to hear you’re experiencing problems.
Do the ports look anything like one of these?
If not then can you post a photo?
