I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 from windows 7 64. I am testing different soft- and hardware in VM first to be sure. Then I saw I could not connect to my two external USB drives, where I had made my Windows 7 backup. VB seems to connect without any problem and announces the drives under the VB USB devices icon. When a drive is chosen, this is also reflected in the VB device list. The drives however do not show in explorer and when I look under "Devices" in Windows 10 (Settings), it says there is a driver error for the device.

VB itself has the USB port activated with USB version 1.0. Trying to change this causes an error - can't even disable it! Has anyone else had the same problem or at least give me a hint as to where I should start looking? I have suspected the extension pack and I have downloaded the Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.2-102096.vbox-extpack file, but how do I install it?

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Errol

Oh good grief!! RTFM problem on the extension pack! Sorry! installing now...

OK.... The one drive installed with no problem. The older Seagate drive gave me a funny error message which I found out was because Windows could not find an update on-line. As soon as I stopped the on-line search, it loaded the right drivers and now it is working as well!

I am sorry I wasted your time, but I hope you all had a good laugh!
