4 <title>Creating a New Virtual Machine</title>
5 <body>
6 <p>To create a Virtual Machine (VM) using the GUI, follow the steps below. To use VBoxManage, see <xref href="unattended-guest-install-example.dita"/>.</p>
7 <ul>
8 <li>
9 <p>In the VirtualBox Manager window, click <b outputclass="bold">New</b> and follow the workflow.</p>
10 <p>If you don't see the <uicontrol>New Virtual Machine</uicontrol> workflow, change the experience level to <b>Basic</b>. See <xref href="ui-experience-level.dita"/>.</p>
11 <p>The exact settings on each page depend on the architecture of the host platform.</p>
12 </li>
13 </ul>
14 <p>Once created, the virtual machine is displayed in the <uicontrol>Machines</uicontrol> list in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>, with the name that you specify. You can make changes later, in the <uicontrol>Settings</uicontrol> for the VM.</p>
15 <p>You must supply an operating system image, in ISO format, for the operating system you intend to install on the VM. <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> does not supply the OS or any license required to use it.</p>
