Problems making a usb to work with a windows 10 virtual machine.

Hi
I get the impression that what I am trying to do should just work??? I think that I am missing something obvious? This is the first time I am trying a virtual machine. In the past I have always used grub.
I have started windows 10 using the virtual machine manager(1.4). Windows 10 seems to run ok.
However I would also like to be able to plug a usb into the PC and get the guest windows 10 operating system to mount it. Unfortunately the host Ubuntu operating system always wants to mount it, even when I am happily running windows 10 as a VM.
When I show the virtual hardware details. If I select usb redirector 1. It just says Type SpiceVMC.
No options are available, what can I do with this?
I read this in the "The Virtualization Mega-Thread".kvm

KVM / Qemu
USB disks work fine in KVM and QEMU. Again, make your user part of the disk group and use the flag
Code:
kvm -hdb /dev/sdb1 ...

where "/dev/sdb1" is the usb disk you wish to use.
For other usb devices, use the -usb flag.

Is this relevant for what I am trying to do?
I have also been googling around and get the impression that it is not that difficult to do this using the virtual manager gui??
Could someone please put me out of my misery or point me to a link that I should follow?
Thanks for your help
