========================================= HOW TO INSTALL A VM IN UTM USING A RAW ISO ========================================= If you downloaded a pure .iso file instead of a pre-packaged .utm file, follow these steps to set it up in UTM: 1. Open UTM and click the "+" button to create a new Virtual Machine. 2. Click "Virtualize" (if you are on Apple Silicon virtualizing ARM/x86) or "Emulate" (if you need QEMU emulation for older architectures). 3. Select the operating system type (e.g., Linux, Windows, Other). 4. Allocate Memory (RAM) and CPU cores. (e.g., 2048MB RAM, 2 Cores). 5. On the "Drives" tab, click "New" to create a virtual hard drive. (Choose IDE for older OS like XP/98, or NVMe/VirtIO for modern ones). 6. Still on the "Drives" tab, click "New" again, select "CD/DVD (ISO)", and click "Browse" to import your downloaded .iso file. 7. Click "Save" to create the VM. 8. Select your new VM in the list and click the Play (▶) button to boot. 9. The VM will boot from the ISO. Follow the on-screen OS installation steps to format the drive and install the system! Note: Don't forget to eject the ISO from the CD/DVD drive inside UTM after the installation is complete, otherwise it might try to boot from the disc again on restart. - Happy Virtualizing!
