Did you use Virtualbox as the hypervisor? The methods will be different depending on which hypervisor you used.
For Virtualbox, you need to install the Extension Pack for your version, add the USB drive to the VM and make sure your user is a member of the
vboxusers group (though this should be the case already). There are many online guides:

You will probably also want to install Guest Additions in the guest (Windows 10) while you're at it.
You can also set up a shared folder to swap files in and out of the VM.

Can you recommend a good Linux book for an absolute and elderly novice?

Most printed books date so quickly that it's not worth it. The Mint forum is a good place to start; they don't (usually) bite.
If you really must read a book, try
one of these.
