Use this page to specify a name and operating system (OS) for the virtual machine and to change the storage location used for VMs.

You can also choose to disable the unattended guest operating system install feature. See also .

The following fields are available on this wizard page:

• Name. A name for the new VM. The name you enter is shown in the machine list of VirtualBox Manager and is also used for the virtual machine's files on disk.

  Be sure to assign each VM an informative name that describes the OS and software running on the VM. For example, a name such as Windows 10 with Visio.

• Folder. The location where VMs are stored on your computer, called the machine folder. The default folder location is shown.

  Ensure that the folder location has enough free space, especially if you intend to use the snapshots feature. See also The Machine Folder.

• ISO Image. Select an ISO image file. The image file can be used to install an OS on the new virtual machine or it can be attached to a DVD drive on the new virtual machine.

• Type and Version. These fields are used to select the OS that you want to install on the new virtual machine.

  The supported OSes are grouped into types. If you want to install something very unusual that is not listed, select the Other type. Depending on your selection, Oracle VM VirtualBox will enable or disable certain VM settings that your guest OS may require. This is particularly important for 64-bit guests. See . It is therefore recommended to always set this field to the correct value.

  If an ISO image is selected and Oracle VM VirtualBox detects the operating system for the ISO, the Type and Version fields are populated automatically and are disabled.

• Skip Unattended Installation. Disables unattended guest OS installation, even if an ISO image is selected that supports unattended installation. In that case, the selected ISO image is mounted automatically on the DVD drive of the new virtual machine and user interaction is required to complete the OS installation.

  The unattended installation step in the wizard is skipped.

  This option is disabled if you do not select an installation medium in the ISO Image field.
