operating system including the type of OS used, names of administrators, passwords, the installation
product key, the time zone used, and whether the guest will be part of Windows domain or part of a
workgroup. Like the other VM settings, when you create a new VM using a template all of these
settings will originally come from the template but you are free to make changes to them before
creating the virtual machine. Click Next to specify the destination where the VM will be created.
