Hello, I am trying to map a network drive (Z:) for use on my VM's. I have it on my Host (Windows 10) but it's not showing up on my VM (Windows 8.1.) How do I get it to show up on my VM's? I am attaching some pictures please look over them and reply. Thank you

Hi, me again...In the top picture you can see the mapped drive Z: under "network locations" (Certified Ethical Hacker Toolkit) but in the second picture you can see it (drive Z:) doesn't show up in my Windows 8.1 VM. Does anyone know how to get it on my Windows 8.1 (second picture)? Thanks

Hi, does anyone know how to get my drive on my VM's? Do I have to do anything in (Windows 8.1) to set up my network drive? Maybe a link with instructions? Please reply. Thanks

Hi, I figured it out. When I set it up on my Drive on my host, I clicked "My PC" then the computer tab, and clicked "map network drive." To get it on my VM's, I did the exact same thing on the guests and entered my Microsoft Account login and password and it worked. Now I have it on my VM's. Success!!!
