Can I use a tethering device such as camlink that is connected to a camera and see what the camera captures on pc? Thanks

Im not sure actually, it would probably work but im pretty sure it wont support 4k full resolution because of the high-bitrate and you will need windows 10 as the client and likely linux as the server or an embedded board like a pi

I actually installed virtual here in win10. so by installing usb server or usb client, drivers and software will work, right? I probably have to try it

So in theory if I use a dslr camera that is connected to a camlink then connected to a rpi 3 installed with a usb server, my win 10 laptop installed with a usb clienthere will recognize the dslr camera? if this works, it's good news cause I am on the verge of getting camera with micro-b or usb-c port then hook it up directly with my virtualhere-ready wireless router so I can view things on my laptop that the camera captures. thanks

Yes i think it should work ok. The pi3 wifi is a bit feeble so you might want to use ethernet instead

Run top on the pi and see what sort of cpu usage you are getting

Also on the pi you might need to increase the kernel usb buffer size before running virtualhere server: 

sudo sh -c 'echo 128 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_memory_mb'
