[offtopic] How to mount USB to windows virtual machine?

Created a new VM > fresh installed Windows 10 > Installed all necessary windows updates > Installed RSA tool > Rescued the device :boom:

Not sure what I changed this time but it worked.
Thanks @smokey for helping me with VM & thanks @pycrk @fbodymechanic for the quick reply :slight_smile:

Before asking here tried searching lenovo, xda & other forums, searched on youtube but no help. Actually I was hesitant to ask here as it’s not a android/windows forum but well EOS forum never disappoint. Wasted few hours on reinstalling VM but it’s better than dual booting windows.

NOTE:
For anyone facing similar issue, keep these things in mind. Not sure but it might help you.

  1. RSA 1st suggested to reboot PC/VM but in the next step it asked for the software to launch, weird. So better Reboot.
  2. Update drivers, if necessary install official USB drivers
  3. Turn on windows additional/optional updates (updates usb drivers in some cases)
  4. Unplug-replug USB & Try another port

Others: Remember to install extension pack for VM & add your user to vboxusers. See comment here
