4 <title>Configure the Settings for a VM</title>

6 <body>
7 <p>You may need to change the configuration of a Virtual Machine (VM) after it has been created. For example, you
8 may want to add more memory. </p>
9 <p>Be careful when changing VM settings. It is possible to change all VM settings after installing a guest OS, but
10 certain changes might prevent a guest OS from functioning correctly if done after installation.</p>
11 <p>To change the settings for a VM:<ol id="ol_imv_1dp_ccc">
12 <li>Select the VM in the machine list.</li>
13 <li>Ensure the VM is Powered off, not Running or Saved. You can't change fundamental characteristics of the VM
14 if it is running. </li>
15 <li>Click <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> to see the current configuration for the VM, and change the
16 settings as required. </li>
17 </ol></p>
18 <p>The settings are described in detail in <xref href="settings-window.dita"/>.</p>
19 <p>Even more parameters are available when using the <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> command line interface. See
20 <xref href="vboxmanage.dita#vboxmanage"/>. </p>
