I am trying to share the network connection from the host (windows 10 pro) but without any luck.

I have created a 'Virtual network switch' to the active wired connection on my Windows 10 PC (an intel ethernet connection).

I have a WES7s (windows7 embedded standard) 'guest' VM running which is used the network adapter which is the link to the virtual switch.

When I launch my VM, windows 7 boots up nicely, but never gets network connection. When I go to the control panel => network and internet => network connections I get an empty list. No adapter is showing up, windows has no notion of it all it seems.

What else can I try?

This is the confirmed working solution by @bas:

Changing the network adapter to Legacy

On the VM settings , choose Add Hardware >> Legacy Network adapter >> Connect network adapter to virtual switch.

The reasoning behind this is these adapters have different drivers so the legacy driver may be the most compatible one with the VM installation.
