For Windows, the format of the string passed to the `--device` option is in
the form of `--device=<IdType>/<Id>`. Beginning with Windows Server 2019
and Windows 10 October 2018 Update, Windows only supports an IdType of
`class` and the Id as a [device interface class
GUID](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/overview-of-device-interface-classes).
Refer to the table defined in the [Windows container
docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/hardware-devices-in-containers)
for a list of container-supported device interface class GUIDs.
If this option is specified for a process-isolated Windows container, _all_
devices that implement the requested device interface class GUID are made
available in the container. For example, the command below makes all COM
ports on the host visible in the container.
```powershell
PS C:\> docker run --device=class/86E0D1E0-8089-11D0-9CE4-08003E301F73 mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019
```
> **Note**: the `--device` option is only supported on process-isolated
> Windows containers. This option fails if the container isolation is `hyperv`
> or when running Linux Containers on Windows (LCOW).
