Here's a random quiz for you. Look at the USB ports on this motherboard IO panel:
And also this one:
What do these USB ports feature/support?
Black: USB 2.0
Blue: USB 3.0 (AKA SuperSpeed)
Teal: USB 3.1 Gen 2 (AKA SuperSpeed+)
Yellow: Charging port (sleep and charge)
Now take a look at this one:
Pretend you don't know what this port is on. Now can you tell me what features does this USB port support?
I sure as hell can't. Well, I can say it at least supports USB 2.0
This is why I kind of hate USB-C. The only thing good that came of it was the connector.

They could still have color coded it, they just chose not to
USB in general is a bit of a mess, for example in the ports above there's no way of knowing if it's 3.1 gen 1 or 3.1 gen 2 and the charging port could be either 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 gen1 or 3.1 gen2 - all the yellow coding says is that it provides more power than other ports.

it supports dongles, I am sure of it
