HiCustomer Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer. The other Experts and I are working on your answer. By the way, it would help us to know:

Is there a microphone jack on the machine itself?
Are there any empty slots you can put a laptop card into?

It has a jack for a microphone but does not work with the microphone I have and I put an adapter to bring it down to the correct size.

Will a usb microphone work with this computer It does have slots for card but I assume they are for camera cards.

Be out of pocket for a while Have to go to a meeting Thanks Myra 122

Ok that's no problem. A usb microphone should work. Otherwise you will have to install a new sound card. Here is one so you can tell whether or not you have a slot available for one: Click Here

If you do not and need a sound card there are also USB sound cards that you can install in order to use the microphone. Once you have the microphone you need recording software or voice recognition software for it to work correctly.
