  13. Back in the settings of the virtual machine settings, still on the Drives<\/strong> tab. <\/span>Click on the Boot Order<\/strong> in quick succession. <\/span>If we are going to install the new operating system from CD\/DVD ROM drive, put the drive on the top, and then click the OK<\/strong> button.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>
  14. Once everything is ready, click the Play arrow button (Launch Selected VM<\/strong>) at the top of the screen.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>
  15. New operating system start installed into virtual machine that we has prepare.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>
  16. After installation of the operating system into a virtual machine is finished, remove the pieces of CD\/DVD from the CD\/DVD ROM DRIVE and turn off the virtual machine by clicking the Stop Selected VM<\/strong> button. <\/span>If a warning box appears, click Yes<\/strong> button.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>
  17. Restart the virtual machine has finished installed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li> <\/ol> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
