INPA communication should be very simple. Cars before about 2007 use K line or sometimes double K line. K line USB cables use the FTDI USB drivers and need the COM port set to COM1. Cars after 2007 use DCAN and don't need the USB drivers. Cars after 2009 may use pin 8 for Ethernet so you have to unsolder pin 8 or use an adapter. The recommended cable covers all three scenarios.

If K line is needed then the COM port settings are only visible once the cable is plugged into the PC.

Also it's best to use a 32bit OS on your coding laptop. Then you don't need to run a VM
