| 7 | <p>In the VirtualBox Manager window, click <b outputclass="bold">New</b>. The <b
|
|---|
| 8 | outputclass="bold">Create Virtual Machine</b> wizard is shown, to guide you through the
|
|---|
| 9 | required steps for setting up a new virtual machine (VM). </p>
|
|---|
| 10 | <p>The steps are:<ul id="ul_yt4_cjt_pbc">
|
|---|
| 11 | <li><xref href="create-vm-wizard-name-os.dita"/></li>
|

|

| 15 | </ul></p>
|

| 16 | <p>If you don't see the wizard, change the experience level to <b>Basic</b>. See <xref
|
|---|
| 17 | href="ui-experience-level.dita"/>.</p>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>Once created, the virtual machine is displayed in the machine list on the left side of the
|
|---|
| 19 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> window, with the name that you entered on
|
|---|
| 20 | the first page of the wizard.</p>
|
|---|
| 21 | <p>You can change the settings later, after you have created the VM, using the Machine
|
|---|
| 22 | Settings.</p>
|
|---|
| 23 | <p>You must supply an operating system image, in ISO format, for the operating system you intend to install on the
|
|---|
| 24 | VM. <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> does not supply the OS or any license required to use
|
|---|
| 25 | it. </p>
