The only option to add FireWire to laptops today is if they have Thunderbolt ports. That does not just mean USB-C ports, they must be USB-C ports with Thunderbolt support, or older style Thunderbolt 1 or 2 over Mini DisplayPort connectors.

We are multiple posts into this and you are just wasting time when you could have given the *exact* model number/specs of the laptop in your first post.

But not only do you need Firewire you need a device driver for the Mbox Pro that will work on the PC. https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...ox-Pro-Drivers With old end of life products the driver will eventually stop being compatible with new Windows releases. So maybe not the end of the world to just give up and buy a new interface.
