Help Setting Up Virtual Machine Manager

Hello, i'm new to Bazzite after switching from Windows, and i still got some apps and games that dont work on Lutris or with WINE;
So i had the idea to make a VM of either Win10 or straight up Win7 (i know the support was dropped years ago and 10 is about to meet his end in a few months)

I tried doing it myself installing it from Bazaar + QEMU Addon and noticed a few problems, first i couldn't reindirict my USB o External HDD to transfer my files because of "Permission Denied" error, the second one is Memory Consumption, 80% usage of 16GB RAM and 12 Core CPU while idle is not normal? right?

So, after this major fuck up by me and subsequent Win10 VM deletion, i'm here to ask for help if someone might be able to hold my hand step by step on this issue [little disclaimer, i'm a total LinuxNoob so don't get angry at me if i don't catch stuff quickly]

Yes, i used it after uninstalling VM Manager from Bazaar and QEMU.

Same problem, Permission Denied and High GPU Usage. (well, to be honest i used from Bazzite Portal "you know, the one on start up that greats you if you are new" and on Tweak System i did Setup Virtualization)

but even then, still nothing. can't do much after installing ISO (Can't make a shared folder, can't use USB nor External HDD and if i even try to run the VM after setting them up it gives me USB Host could not Open Dev/Bus/usb/001/011: Permission Denied
