Click on the device to add it to the USB filter rules. The “Unknown device” here, is actually a USB3 USB stick I purchased inexpensively from Micro Center.

Now that we have a list, plug in the device, and the new device will show. Often I have found that USB drives do not also identify themselves very well, so before plugging in the drive, check the list of current devices.Ĭlick on the Add icon, to see the current lost of USB devices This is done by adding a USB filter to the VM, picking the device that we want to make visible to the VM. In the Settings for the VM, navigate to the USB menu įrom here, we can make a USB device available to the VM. Next, boot your VM and then we need to add the USB device. Also, you can copy over the ISO to the VM, or make the ISO visible on a shared folder that the Linux VM can see. An easy way to do this, especially if you are like me and have VirtualBox and a few Linux VMs already built, is to simply burn the ISO to a USB stick.īefore you do this, you will need VirtualBox installed, and a Linux VM that has the Extensions already installed. Natively Windows 10 does not have a great way to burn an ISO to a USB device with out installing additional software. I get asked this all the time, how do I make a bootable USB drive on my Windows notebook.
