    The Virtual Machine Creation Wizard opens.

  4. Follow the steps of the Wizard:
    1. Select the virtual machine creation method.
    2. Specify the virtual machine name and generation.
    3. Set the virtual machine hardware configuration.
    4. Select the virtual machine accommodation type.
    5. Select the hypervisor on which the virtual machine will be created.
