Managing Devices After creating a VM, the next step is to add virtual devices for that VM. Using the Create Virtual Machine wizard configures at least one disk, NIC, and the display as part of the process. To add devices, from the Virtual Machines screen, click anywhere on a VM entry to expand it and show the options for the VM.
Click device_hub Devices to open the Devices screen for the 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.

The Virtual Machines screen allows users to add, edit, or manage virtual machines (VMs) and VM devices. The No Virtual Machines screen displays if there are no VMs configured on the system or if you delete all VMs on the system.
Figure 1: No Virtual Machines Add Virtual Machines and Add at the top right of the screen opens the Create Virtual Machine wizard.
