<title>Create Virtual Machine Wizard: Name and Operating System</title>

<title>Creating a Virtual Machine: Name and Operating System</title>
<image href="images/create-vm-1.png" width="10cm" placement="break"/>
</fig>
<p>
Use this page to specify a name and operating system (OS) for
the virtual machine and to change the storage location used for
VMs.
</p>
<p>
You can also choose to disable the unattended guest operating
system install feature. See also
<xref href="create-vm-wizard-unattended-install.dita#create-vm-wizard-unattended-install"/>.
</p>
<p>
The following fields are available on this wizard page:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Name.</b> 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.
</p>
<p>
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 <codeph>Windows 10 with Visio</codeph>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Folder.</b> The location where
VMs are stored on your computer, called the
<i>machine folder</i>. The default folder
location is shown.
</p>
<p>
Ensure that the folder location has enough free space,
especially if you intend to use the snapshots feature. See
also <xref href="vboxconfigdata-machine-folder.dita">The Machine Folder</xref>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">ISO Image.</b> 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.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Type and Version.</b> These
fields are used to select the OS that you want to install on
the new virtual machine.
</p>
<p>
The supported OSes are grouped into types. If you want to
install something very unusual that is not listed, select
the <b outputclass="bold">Other</b> 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
<xref href="intro-64bitguests.dita#intro-64bitguests"/>. It is therefore
recommended to always set this field to the correct value.
</p>
<p>
If an ISO image is selected and Oracle VM VirtualBox detects the
operating system for the ISO, the
<b outputclass="bold">Type</b> and
<b outputclass="bold">Version</b> fields are
populated automatically and are disabled.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Skip Unattended
Installation.</b> 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.
</p>
<p>
The unattended installation step in the wizard is skipped.
</p>
<note>
<p>
This option is disabled if you do not select an
installation medium in the <b outputclass="bold">ISO
Image</b> field.
</p>
</note>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Click <b outputclass="bold">Next</b> to go to the next
wizard page.
