Create a virtual machine
========================
1. Download the latest_ Clear Linux live version (clear-XXXX-live.img.xz)
from https://download.clearlinux.org/image/.
#. Download the `latest`_ live version (clear-XXXX-live.img.xz) of Clear Linux.
2. Decompress Clear Linux image (you can use 7zip_). Uncompressed image
size is ~ **5GiB**.
#. Decompress the downloaded image. Uncompressed image size is ~ **5GB**.
3. To convert Clear Linux raw image to :abbr:`VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)`
format, you need to use VirtualBox_ or QEMU_ (windows version available on

* Using *VirtualBox* you can use one of the following commands::
* With *VirtualBox*, you can use one of the following commands::
VBoxManage convertfromraw clear-XXXX-live.img clear-XXXX-live.vhd --format VHD
> VBoxManage convertfromraw clear-XXXX-live.img clear-XXXX-live.vhd --format VHD
or::
vbox-img convert --srcfilename clear-XXXX-live.img --dstfilename clear-XXXX-live.vhd --srcformat raw --dstformat vhd
> vbox-img convert --srcfilename clear-XXXX-live.img --dstfilename clear-XXXX-live.vhd --srcformat raw --dstformat vhd

You can test your new *VHD image* using the **PowerShell** command line::

Clear Linux uses *EFI* to boot. Since this featue is availible only in `Generation 2`_
or later virtual machines, you'll need to convert from **VHD** to **VHDX**. To do this,
you can use the following *PowerShell* command::
PS C:\> Convert-VHD -Path c:\path\to\clear-XXXX-live.vhd -DestinationPath c:\path\to\clear-XXXX-live.vhdx
You can save the new *VHDX* virtual hard disk in :file:`C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Hyper-V\\Virtual Hard Disks`.
4. Create virtual machine using the **Hyper-V Manager**:
#. Create a virtual machine using the **Hyper-V Manager**:
* Choose **Generation 2** when you need to *specify VM generation*.
* Choose **Use an existing virtual hard disk** and browse to find the :file:`clear-XXXX-live.vhdx` file.
5. Connect to your new VM and start it.
#. Finally, connect to your new VM and start it. You should see a prompt asking for
a user; use::
You will see a prompt asking for a user, use:
* User: root
* A new password will be asked for user root
