USB port question

Post by mj-k »

Hello,

I'm totally new to VirtualBox so please be gentle with me.

I have windows 10 and installend VirtualBox and put windows 7 on it with a tutorial on YouTube.

I would like to use 1 physical USB port to only connect with VirtualBox and another USB port that can be connected to both.
Is that possible?

1) You cannot share ports. USB is not shareable.
2) You cannot assign ports to VirtualBox. The most you can do is have a filter that captures a specific device. Read Chapter 3.10 of the user manual.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
