Windows Server 2016

I am running windows server 2016 on a virtual machine for my Repetier Server (3D Printer's server). I seem to have a problem where the virtual machine is detecting the Arduino and the RAMPS 1.4 that I have connected but it isn't able to do anything with the device, I am assuming it is due to me not having Arduino installed on the virtual machine but I cant find any compatible version of Arduino that I can run on Windows Server 2016. Has anyone got a solution to this?

Does it work properly on a non-virtual machine?

I have a funny feeling that this is not the Forum for advice about virtual machines. They are certainly far beyond my pay grade.

To be honest im not sure, I have been struggling with it for about a week now, I might try making a windows 10 virtual machine to run it off, just to test if thats the issue. I'm quite new to virtual machines and only been working with them for a month or so now

Why not just verify that it works on a non-virtual machine first. Who knows how virtual machines interact with hardware!
