Steps to create a VIRTUAL COMPUTER

• We started giving click on the vmware application  that we must already have downloaded and installed, and then click on the option "Archive”And then in the option that says new "virtual machine" in the first option. You will have this screen:

• Then you will see that a wizard will be activated. Here you are going to click on the option that says "Custom settings”. Here you will control the entire process of creating the virtual computer at your convenience. Everything is clearly detailed and in a simple way, which makes you choose the best options for the purpose you chose.

• Already in this step we need you to concentrate, it is where it plays choose the type of hardware you want for your virtual computer. For this you will have several recommended options for each situation. For example, it explains to you what kind of virtual machine can you create with each and every one of the options that appear on the monitor.

• In this step, you choose the CDROM or the ISO image that has the operating system of your machine. In this way, the system or installer will configure the machine so that the installation time is minimal. But I think it is necessary to recommend that you click on the option that tells you “install it later”Because that way you will be clearer about how you want to configure your new virtual machine. For example, if you want to install the operating system from an installer or download it from the network using PXE.

• Once here, what you will see are the options for you to select the operating system you want to install for your virtual machine. I recommend that you choose the one that you consider you need or want to have installed. In the options you will see the recommendations according to what you want to create.

We are going well up to here LET'S GO!

• Now you will have to write the name and place where your virtual machine will be located or saved. You must be aware that a flash memory (USB) is not the best place for you to consider it as the location of your virtual computer. This is because over time and as you write and save, it is possible that it will degrade, until you reach the point where you lose all the saved data.

• In this step, which is already one of the last to create your virtual machine, you will see a window on your monitor. Here you need choose the number of processors to create your virtual computer. A key fact is that a processor is more than enough for your machine to start without problems.

• With the number of processors already ready, you must now indicate the amount of memory that your virtual computer will have. You will have 3 options, you must choose the one that suits you best. Usually the option recommended by the program is chosen to create a virtual computer.

Do you see how easy it has been? AHEAD!

• At this level it is time for your network configuration. You will see the options you have on your monitor. We recommend in this case, to create your virtual computer, that your machine has only host-only. Once you have installed the operating system, with your antivirus or security active, select “Bridged mode”. So when your virtual machine is connected to the internet, it will automatically update everything that is its operating system.

• It is the turn to configure the disk controller to create your virtual computer, but here you can summarize it by clicking on the "Recommended" option so that everything is done automatically. So you will not have to complicate yourself in testing which is the best option for your computer. VMWare will do it for you.

• Well here is the time create the hard drive of your virtual computer. If you don't have a real disk that you can connect, you must create a new virtual disk.

• When choosing hard disk in file we recommend clicking the SCSI "by default". When creating a virtual computer, I always advise to follow the recommendations of VMWare, because it knows what is best. A huge file with the amount of gigabytes you want. Or split it into several files with less Gigs each. It can also be a file that grows as we install things, the latter being recommended by VMWare, we will choose it.

• Then you must give your hard disk the maximum amount of Gigs, indicate the location you want, and finally your new virtual hard disk will be created, thus completing another step to create your virtual computer.

Just a few more steps and we're done

• To finish this, it will give us the option to edit a little what we have done, even the hardware. The most ideal is to leave everything as is and edit it comfortably once you have created the virtual computer.

• By now our virtual machine should be on the screen in front of us, ready to be used. We will go to the configuration as if it were a physical machine.

For this you just have to click where it says edit the virtual machine, so you will have the opportunity to edit its hardware, and in an easy way you can place the one you want to use and configure it immediately.

Let's continue, you almost have your virtual computer READY.

• What interests us at this moment to finish creating a virtual computer is to assign an ISO image to the Cdrom, so that you can install your operating system. You can do it by clicking on the edit window of the "hardware", In this case it would be the ISO image. But you must also select the option that you will see described as Power. In this part you necessarily have to select the stop and reset so that your virtual machine has the reset options.

• We arrive at the configuration of the Guest Isolation, another step to finish creating a virtual computer, for which it is a very good idea to deactivate the Drag & Drop, because this would only be a loss of performance on your machine.

• You got to the configuration of your Replay, but you have nothing to do here except disable the Visual Studio debugger, as this is experimental and not safe yet. It is for this reason that when creating a virtual computer, there is still no one who has done it. So it is best to click on the option to continue.

With everything already configured, the virtual machine is ready to run, you just have to click on Play.

You have reached the end of the process, and how you could see, although it was a bit long, creating a virtual machine was not that difficult.

Now you have a new virtual machine configured. I hope it was worth it to get to the end of this article, and if it served you, then I congratulate you, and I hope you take advantage of your new virtual machine.
