To create a typical virtual machine:
Enter a descriptive name for the virtual machine in the Virtual machine name field. The name should be no longer than 50 characters.
In the Configuration file field the default path and name for the configuration file is shown. If you do not like the default name or path you may browse your file system to locate an appropriate folder and name. You may also make changes directly in the field.
Click Finish to begin the process of creating your new virtual machine, or click Back to examine settings on the previous steps.
After you click Finish, the new configuration is generated and opened in the Parallels Workstation window. The property page is displayed. You may continue with installing the guest operating system on the new virtual machine.
