The video tutorial guides users through setting up a virtual machine using VirtualBox. It covers opening the application, naming the machine, and configuring memory and storage. Advanced settings such as CPU allocation and video memory are discussed. Finally, the tutorial explains how to mount an operating system and prepare for installation.

What is the first step in creating a new virtual machine in VirtualBox?

• Choose the type of disk image

• Select the amount of RAM

• Mount the operating system

• Open the VirtualBox application and go to 'New'

When naming a virtual machine 'Linux', what does VirtualBox automatically detect?
