Usb Boot Virtualbox Osx 2017 Windows 10 I Run

Usb showed up on my mac desktop and I dragged it to my computer in the windows window.

The problem is mainly that through VirtualBox plugnplay doesnt function properly and Windows is unable to figure out what driver the USB device needs.

The way to fix it is to set up the proper filter in VirtualBox settings.

Its incredibly easy to install these, just run the virtual machine and then from the host window select Device Install Guest Additions VirtualBox should load a virtual disk with the guest additions setup if it doesnt run automatically just go into the virtual disk and launch the installer.

Now go back to the VirtualBox manager and right-click the VM that you want to use the USB device with to open the Settings window.

Within settings, browse to the USB tab and click the Add button on the very right of the window.

Now go back into your VM window and from the Host options select Device Usb Devices your usb device.

The USB device should now show up just as it would on your physical computer.

And that is all there is to adding a physical USB device to your VirtualBox VMs.

Thanks in advance.
