When creating the virtual machine, we need to allocate hardware resources for that machine. This option optimizes the hard disk space better, but it makes the virtual machine slightly slower. If we select the option to create multiple files, the program reserves the minimum space required to run the virtual machine, and when the virtual machine disk starts to fill up, the program will create more files until it reaches the 60 Gb limit. If we choose to reserve disk space (single file), the program will create a 60Gb file, which will be used to store the virtual machine. For example, if we install Windows 8, the recommended space is 60 Gigabytes.
We can choose to reserve space on the hard disk to store virtual machine files or choose the option in which the virtual machine will increase the used space. Also, we must select the space required by the virtual machine.ĭepending on the operating system we intend to install, the space required may vary from 2 Gigabytes to 60 Gigabytes. The created virtual machine is stored in directories and files on the hard disk, so we need to indicate the location where we want to store such files. We can choose between Windows ( Windows XP, Windows Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, etc.), Linux ( Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, SUSE, CentOS, Fedora, and more), Novell NetWare, Solaris, and Others ( MS-DOS, FreeBSD, and more). In the virtual machine creation process, we can choose the operating system we will install on the machine. VMware Player enables us to create virtual machines quickly and easily.
