Create a New Virtual Machine With VMware's Fusion

After you launch Fusion, go to the Virtual Machine Library. This is where you create new virtual machines, as well as adjust settings for existing virtual machines.

Create a New VM

  1. Launch Fusion by double-clicking its icon in the Dock, or by double-clicking the Fusion application, usually located at /Applications/VMware Fusion.

  2. Access the Virtual Machine Library window. By default, this window should be front and center when you launch Fusion. If it isn't, you can access it by selecting 'Virtual Machine Library' from the Windows menu.

  3. Click the ‘New’ button in the Virtual Machine Library window.

  4. The Virtual Machine Assistant will launch, displaying a short introduction to creating a virtual machine.

  5. Click the ‘Continue' button in the Virtual Machine Assistant window.
