I am trying to use an old 35mm film scanner that only works in Windows7. Given the fact that my laptop is running Windows10Pro I decided to take advantage of the built-in virtual machine Hyper-V to create a virtual Windows7 computer. The problem is that I am unable to connect the scanner's cable to the usb hub and get it recognized by de virtual machine.

According to microsof's documentation 

Quote

The virtual machine must have Remote Desktop Services enabled, and run Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2012 R2 as the guest operating system.

So, how can I get the Windows7 Virtual Machine to run the scanner.

 

I've read that you could use a remote desktop... but I have no idea how to achieve that.
