[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-VMAssignableDevice cmdlet retrieves information about the assignable devices that are
associated with a specific virtual machine (VM). This cmdlet can be used to list all assignable
devices that can be attached to a VM or to retrieve details about specific devices that are already
assigned. The retrieved information can include the device's instance path, location path, and
other relevant properties.
Examples
Example 1
Get-VMAssignableDevice -VMName "MyVM"This example retrieves all assignable devices associated with the virtual machine named MyVM.
