I thought I could use the same USB created with the Media Creation tool, that I used to create a regular Win 10 installation. But I'm missing something, because I can't get the VM to recognize that USB drive.

You can't really use USB drives like that with Hyper-V. You should instead use an ISO image, which you can assign to the VM as a CD-Rom.I thought I could use the same USB created with the Media Creation tool, that I used to create a regular Win 10 installation.

Sorry for being so dense here. I downloaded the ISO, but I can't seem to get the VM to detect that ISO. Drag-and-drop did not work. Selecting the ISO and doing a right-click didn't help either.You can't really use USB drives like that with Hyper-V. You should instead use an ISO image, which you can assign to the VM as a CD-Rom.

This tutorial is what I was looking for but did not find, probably becuase I was looking in the wrong place. I'm printing it out now, and I will study it tomorrow and follow the steps. But even a quick scan shows that it will help me out completely.

Only weird thing is that after doing this, I couldn't acceess the internet. I opened up Properties (or Configuration, forget which) and discovered that all the check boxes were unchecked! So i fixed that, rebooted twice, and now I have internet access again.
Glad you got is sorted

Yes, but this is through the Enhanced session functionality. The drive can't be recognized when installing the OS because you're not running in Enhanced mode at that time.Not directly related, but you can get hyper-v to recognise usb drives - see posts 10 to 17 on

That is why I said not directly related. I actually looked on web how to use a usb (not for installing) and all the articles said it was not possible, difficult etc. The articles were over two years old. I did not see any recent articles though explaining how to do it with enhanced mode.Yes, but this is through the Enhanced session functionality.
