Selecting the Configuration Method

Click Next.


Naming the Virtual Machine

Selecting the Network Type

404/20/09

In this step you need to give your virtual machine a descriptive name and select a location for it.

It’s good practice to include the OS version in the name and create a folder with the same name just for that particular virtual machine.

Click Next.

You have three options for network settings. The more typical choice is “Use bridged networking”, which allows you to assign the virtual machine its own static IP address.

Click Next.


How big should the VM be?

Creating the VM

504/20/09

Although the size of your VM can be proportional to the size of the hard drive that it is on, we will make ours 16 GB.

Keep the default setting of “Store virtual disk as a single file”.

Click Finish.

Check the settings to make sure they are correct and then click Finish.
