The configuration wizard steps through the process of configuring a virtual machine. In most cases, the configuration wizard provides appropriate default settings for a virtual machine.
While the configuration wizard is the easiest way to define a new virtual machine, you cannot use the wizard to modify an existing configuration. The configuration editor can modify an existing configuration.
Virtual machine configuration settings are stored in configuration files. By default the wizard creates configuration files and other data files, such as virtual disk files and a BIOS nvram file in a common directory. The wizard configures the location in which these files are stored.
