You can use a USB [**microphone**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95011/how-do-i-re-enable-a-microphone-in-windows-10) on window 10 by:

1. **Make use of the microphone to communicate with people via message** or conversation programs.
2. If the quality is good enough, use the microphone to record music. If you demand great sound quality, look for independent product reviews before purchasing a microphone.
3. **Record audio for films, slide displays, or podcasts with the microphone.**
4. You can use the microphone with specific computer programs that support it. Photo-editing tools with the ability to add voice notes or typing programs with the capacity to convert speech to text are examples of such programs.
5. For gaming, use the microphone. Many online games can be played with a microphone, allowing the player to communicate with other players.
