In Windows' Device Manager, how do I identify which USB device is which port (from 3-4 physical ports) on a desktop/laptop?

Well, you can use USBDeview to identify devices which are currently connected to your USB ports, if that's what you mean. If not, and you wish to identify which device is in what physical port - then no. USB ports are the same. (technically, they're something of a serial port variety, but you still have to means of differentiating between them - unlike old COMs) |

The different physical connections in a USB hub are not in any way electrically distinct. It's a "bus" architecture (hence 'USB'), so, no there's not really any way to do what you're asking. |
