A new window (representing the screen of your virtual computer) opens and the VM is booted. Select this VM and click on the large green arrow marked "Start". The procedure for importing the virtual disk image takes a while, just be patient.Īfter you have imported the VM image, you should have an entry for it on the left side of the window. Otherwise, continue by clicking "Import". If you have more resources than a CPU core and 1024 MB of RAM available, you can increase these values here.
