I have Win10 Pro and am wanting to utilize Hyper V with Ubuntu to run the Tuya Convert terminal scripts and flash ESP8266 device with tasmota. I have been able to install Hyper V, login to Ubuntu, complete the tuya convert install but am not able to utilize the built in WIFI or the WIFI dongle I have to make a connection with the ESP device. I used a Youtube instructional with similar features except using VMWARE workstation. Difference is when this video plugins in the wifi dongle it asks what it wants to do with it. In hyper v I am unable to get any WIFI device to be seen by the virtual machine. Can anyone help Please

    Hi,
    Since you have using Linux VM on Hyper V host, it's recommended to turn to Linux on Hyper V forum for better support:

    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,
