Any news about the ExtensionPack for Windows10 guest?

Post by Bruchpilot »

Hello to all early adopters!
I have to test our hard- and software for Win10 compatibility, therefore I need "USB 2.0 support" which is only available with the EP.
So does anybody know when we will have the ExtensionPack for Windows10 guest with Windows7 64Bit Host?
Any information is welcome.
Thanx

The extension pack is installed on the host. The guests types aren't relevant.

That's not entirely accurate, the extensions must also be installed on the guest.

[citation needed]. You seem to be confusing the Extension Pack with the Guest Additions. The former does not need the latter and the latter does not depend on the former. And vice versa.
