Cannot connect to the Internet after moving Win 10 VM to another PC
Cannot connect to the Internet after moving Win 10 VM to another PC
I lost the ability to connect to the internet in my Windows 10 VM after I exported from one pc and imported in a new one. I had been using the Bridge adapter before and it was working fine. In the new PC I tried configuring the Bridge Adapter, the NAT and even the Network NAT but none of them work. The guest OS does not recognize the device.

Re: Cannot connect to the Internet after moving Win 10 VM to another PC
The guest OS does not recognize what device? How did you do the export/import?
I can imagine problems with bridged on a different host - you bridge to a specific NIC in the host, which probably does no exist on the new host PC. Simply shutting down the vm and bridging to the suggested NIC in the new host would have fixed that.
If NAT does not give you a connection you have done something odd. NAT is just about foolproof, which is why it in set as the default.
