o An installer disc (CD/DVD)


o An installer disc image file (ISO)

5. Click ​Next​.
6. Enter a virtual machine name and specify a location for virtual machine files to be saved; click
Next​. Accepting the default is OK.

split the virtual disk into 2GB files. Click ​Next​. Note that 25 GB is recommended.
8. Verify the other configuration settings for your virtual machine:
o Memory – Change the amount of memory allocated to the virtual machine. (Check the
amount of RAM in your computer—task manager is an easy way—and then adjust
according to your computer’s hardware). We like to use 4096 MB for the Windows
machines, and Kali Linux runs nicely on 2048 MB.

o Processors – Change the number of processors, number of cores per processor, and the
virtualization engine.
o CD/DVD – With advanced settings, you can choose between SCSI, IDE. Select
customize and then CD/DVD > Use ISO image file; then browse to the download/storage
location for the ISO.
o Network adapter – Configure it to bridge, NAT, or Host-only mode, or customize where
you can choose between 0 to 9 adapters.
o USB Controller
o Sound card
o Display – enable 3D graphics.

to restart your virtual machine once the Tools installation completes.
