customize Hardware okay so this is where you set how much RAM you want to allocate to your virtual machine now I have 16 gigabytes of RAM on my PC so I'm going to give it about four gigabytes of RAM which should be fine you shouldn't give an example 40 of your RAM to your virtual machine or else it will slow down your host computer now the same thing with the processor I'm gonna give it three cores since I have it course on my PC and for the display you can set it to Auto detect make sure you enable 3D graphics once we set these things we can close and I click on finish now click on play
