2. Click Finish to complete the creation task and close the wizard.

What to do next

Before you can use the new virtual machine, you must partition and format the virtual drive, install a guest operating system, and install VMware Tools. Typically, the operating system's installation application handles partitioning and formatting the virtual drive.

You can map the virtual machine's CDROM/DVD to an ISO file and start the virtual machine. This action triggers the operating system install.
