You may get the Virtual Machine host key warning again, select “Do not show this message again” and then “Capture”. It will boot like a normal computer, but in a window on your Mac. Your VM should start for the first time.Normally after Windows installed, you can simply move your mouse out of the VM window and it will be back on your Mac side. You will need to do this if your mouse and keyboard appear to be “stuck” in the VM, meaning you can’t move the mouse out of the VM. Use this key to “release” the mouse and keyboard from the VM to switch back to your Mac. What is important to note on this screen is the host key, which is set to Left Command key. You may see a warning that “Auto capture keyboard” is turned on. Click the green “Start” arrow to start your VM.Choose “Add,” select the ISO you download earlier, and select “Choose”.Select “ Empty” and choose “Choose/Create a disk image…” A dialog will open.Select the new VM you created and choose Settings (gear icon).Your VM is a computer within a computer, which means it must be started and shut down like a normal computer (it also means it can get viruses so be careful). You should see the VM you created, and it should be “Powered Off”. You will now be taken back to the Virtual Machine Manager, which will no longer be empty. The default settings should be fine (the drive is dynamic, so will only use the least amount of space on your host computer). Next you must configure the hard disk for your VM to use.Leave the default “Create a virtual hard disk now” selected.Go with the recommended memory (2048 MB, or 2 GB).
