First step is to check the USB Drive #. Plug in the Win 10 bootable USB drive. In this computer it is Drive K.
Then open command prompt by run as administrator. Type 'diskpart' and then 'list disk'.
Here the USB drive is 'Drive 2' 28 GB. Take note on that.
Next add the USB to VMware. Open VMware, cick on the 'Edit virtual machine settings' for the hosted OS. Click 'Add' on hardware. Make sure default Hard Disk is selected and click 'Next'.
In the next Disk Type click Next to stay as SCSI. Enable Use a physical disk and click Next. Then next choose PhysicalDrive2 (USB Drive #) and Use entire disk for Usage. In the last window click Finish to complete the adding of USB Drive.
