It has been a few years since I have used VirtualBox (mostly because I have found the performance became quite unbearable for my tastes).

Nevertheless, I never ran Windows as a guest on a Linux machine.

My best guess is: as long as the Linux system can pick up the USB device (even if it can’t use it), you should be able to forward it to the Windows guest. When you do this, the USB device is no longer available to the host OS and is used by the guest OS.

As I mentioned at the start, it has been many years since I’ve used VirtualBox, so things may have changed (I don’t think so, but … I make no promises).

How can I forward devices that cannot be recognized by the guest OS, just grant hardware access?
