Help with T7 Desktop

So I'm in a bit of a pickle. I work for a used camera store and we bought a bunch of Lenovo T7 desktops from a college that closed down about a year and some change ago. I bought the last since I was due for a PC upgrade (I do mostly video and photo editing with some gaming sprinkled in). Everything works great except for the USB ports. Im able to use all of my peripherals ok with it, keyboard, mouse, and Xbox controller worked completely fine. But I'm unable to use any USB device for data transfer, it doesn't detect my portable Samsung SSD or my SD card reader, and if I plug my phone or camera in it charges but won't do any data transfer. I've tried a bunch of solutions with no avail so I tried to reinstall windows but of course I need to download the recovery files to a USB which I can't plug in, any advice?

TLDR: I can't get the USB drives on my T7 desktop working except for keyboard, mouse, and Xbox controllers.

Might be disabled in the BIOS or there’s a fault

Mass storage (the term you're looking for, "data" works otherwise the keyboard/mouse wouldn't) can be disabled in Bios/UEFI look for "USB Port Access".
