|

| 13 | <li>

| 14 | <p>Go to the <filepath>VirtualBox VMs</filepath> folder in your system user's home directory. Find the subdirectory of the machine you want to start and double-click the machine settings file. This file has a <filepath>.vbox</filepath> file extension.</p>
|

| 15 | </li>
|

| 16 | </ul>
|

| 17 | <p>The VM you started appears in a new window and you will see it start to boot up, or prompt you to install an operating system as required. Everything that would normally be seen on the virtual system's monitor is shown in the window.</p>
|
