VMware will likely detect the
OS automatically. If not,
choose from the list the most
appropriate operation system.
Naming the Virtual Machine
In this step you need to give
your virtual machine a
descriptive name and select a
location for it.
It’s good practice to include the
OS version in the name and
create a folder with the same
name just for that particular
virtual machine.

Although the size of your VM
can be proportional to the
size of the hard drive that it
