Creating a Virtual Machine Adding and Removing Devices Managing a Virtual Machine Installing an OS A virtual machine (VM) is an environment on a host computer that you can use as if it is a separate, physical computer. Users can use VMs to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single computer. Operating systems running inside a VM see emulated virtual hardware rather than the host computer physical hardware. VMs provide more isolation than Jails but also consume more system resources.

Go to Virtualization > Virtual Machines and locate the VM you want to modify.
Systems with more than one graphics processing unit (GPU) installed can isolate additional GPU device(s) from the host operating system (OS) and allocate them for use by configured applications or a virtual machine (VM).
Advanced settings have reasonable defaults in place. A warning message displays for some settings advising of the dangers of making changes. Changing advanced settings can be dangerous when done incorrectly. Use caution before saving changes.
Make sure you are comfortable with ZFS, Linux, and system configuration, backup, and restoration before making any changes.
