+# Add-VMAssignableDevice
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+Adds an assignable device to a specific virtual machine.
+
+## SYNTAX
+
+### VMName (Default)
+
+```
+Add-VMAssignableDevice [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ComputerName <String[]>]
+ [-Credential <PSCredential[]>] [-VMName] <String[]> [-InstancePath <String>]
+ [-LocationPath <String>] [-VirtualFunction <UInt16>] [-ResourcePoolName <String>] [-Passthru]
+ [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
+```
+
+### VMObject
+
+```
+Add-VMAssignableDevice [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [-InstancePath <String>] [-LocationPath <String>]
+ [-VirtualFunction <UInt16>] [-ResourcePoolName <String>] [-Passthru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
+ [<CommonParameters>]
+```
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+The `Add-VMAssignableDevice` cmdlet assigns a physical device to a specified virtual machine (VM).
+This is commonly used for tasks such as attaching GPUs or network adapters directly to a VM to
+enhance performance for specific applications or workloads. The device can be specified through its
+instance path, location path, or assignable device object.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+### Example 1
+
+```powershell
+Add-VMAssignableDevice -VMName "MyVM" -InstancePath "PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0300)#PCI(0000)"
+```
+
+This example attaches a physical device, identified by its instance path, to the virtual machine
+named **MyVM**.
+
+### Example 2
+
+```powershell
+$gpu = Get-VMHostAssignableDevice
+Add-VMHostAssignableDevice -HostAssignableDevice $gpu -ResourcePoolName "GpuChildPool"
+```
+
+This example retrieves a list of GPUs or other assignable devices and adds these devices to a
+resource pool named **GpuChildPool**, making the devices available for use by virtual machines in
+that resource pool.
+
+## PARAMETERS
+
+### -CimSession
+
+Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session
+object, such as the output of a [New-CimSession](/powershell/module/cimcmdlets/new-cimsession)
+or [Get-CimSession](/powershell/module/cimcmdlets/get-cimsession) cmdlet. The default is the
+current session on the local computer.
+
+```yaml
+Type: CimSession[]
+Parameter Sets: VMName
+Aliases:
+
+Required: False
+Position: Named
+Default value: None
+Accept pipeline input: False

+```
+
+### -ComputerName
+
+Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which the assignable devices are to be retrieved. NetBIOS
+names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowed. The default is the local
+computer. Use localhost or a dot (`.`) to specify the local computer explicitly.
+
+```yaml
+Type: String[]
+Parameter Sets: VMName

+Parameter Sets: (All)
+Aliases:
+
+Required: False
+Position: Named
+Default value: None
+Accept pipeline input: False
+Accept wildcard characters: False
