@XrpmX13 About VMWare, Virtual Box supports USB sticks and yes it is available for Linux https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Try Fedora if you can, I think you'll find it much better

Of course I know that It's available for Linux, I never said it wasn't.

Virtual Box does have support for some USB devices, but for VERY few. If you try to connect a modern day USB stick, your Windows VM installation won't detect it. I tried several fixes and it came to a point where it gave me the "Installing drivers" pop up but despite that, my USB stick didn't show up in My Computer.
