I'm confused then. The VM has it's own hardware specs, borrowing pretty much part of your current processor. What I was trying to get to is this. If you had a very old USB printer that wasn't supported under Windows 10, then you won't be able to use it in a VM with XP. If a device, such as a USB flash drive, scanner, printer, etc has Windows 10 drivers so the main/host system can use it, then the VM software will allow you to make that hardware available to the XP virtual machine.
You mentioned it in a previous post, so that's why I asked. The VM software, such as VMWare Player or VirtualBox all have virtual hardware that's compatible with the OS you choose to install as a virtual machine.
I say it often, but dual-booting is dead. If you want to maintain an XP computer, virtualization is the way to go.
