poll Buying Heroes III

I've been thinking of buying Heroes III Complete, but I'm not sure which version to get. Currently I have these two choices:

Is it possible to get a USB 3 Micro USB to USB cable?

For say my external HDD (1 TB, but it was bought without a dual USB 2/3 compatibility) or to connect my phone to the laptop?

Is it worth upgrading a laptop?

Any parts at all, be it the HDD, RAM, GPU or the CPU. Or would it be better to just get a newer laptop?
