title: Enabling USB 3.0 in already existing Virtualbox VMs

Just a quick note on how to get USB 3.0 in Virtualbox for VMs that were
created with USB 1.1 support only. First, download VirtualBox Extension
Pack from [here](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). Install
it. Then quit Virtualbox completely. Go to your directory that contains
your virtual machine and edit `.vbox` file. Replace the whole
`<USBController>` section with the following:
```xml
<USB>
<Controllers>
<Controller name="xHCI" type="XHCI"/>
</Controllers>
<DeviceFilters/>
</USB>
```
That's it, let me know if it works for you !
