<title>Basic Tab</title>

<p>
In the <b outputclass="bold">Basic</b> tab of the
<b outputclass="bold">General</b> settings category, you
can find these settings:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Name:</b> The name of the the
VM, as shown in the list of VMs in the main VirtualBox
Manager window. Using this name, Oracle VM VirtualBox also saves
the VM's configuration files. If you change the name,
Oracle VM VirtualBox renames these files as well. As a result, you
can only use characters which are allowed for file names on
your host OS.
</p>
<p>
Note that internally, Oracle VM VirtualBox uses unique identifiers
(UUIDs) to identify virtual machines. You can display these
using the <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> commands.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Type:</b> The type of the guest
OS for the VM. This is the same setting that is specified in
the <b outputclass="bold">New Virtual Machine</b>
wizard. See <xref href="create-vm-wizard.dita#create-vm-wizard"/>.
</p>
<p>
Whereas the default settings of a newly created VM depend on
the selected OS type, changing the type later has no effect
on VM settings. This value is purely informational and
decorative.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Version:</b> The version of the
guest OS for the VM. This is the same setting that is
specified in the <b outputclass="bold">New Virtual
Machine</b> wizard. See
<xref href="create-vm-wizard.dita#create-vm-wizard"/>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
