Thank you Jim.
I am already running VM Workstation 14. And I did, in fact, read about 14 being more USB friendly.
Using USB 2.0 ports:
I only have USB 3.0 ports in this laptop. I do remember reading on the VM forum someone saying something about plugging a USB 2.0 hub into the USB 3.0 port, then plug the storage device into that, which seems to be along the lines of your suggestion.
I'll find one to buy and try that out.
Thanks so much for your testing this on my behalf! I really appreciate it.
Paul
