Install Windows

Change the language options if desired, but note the tutorial will assume English.

Select "Install Now".

Select "New".

Select "Apply". The default size is the full size of the virtual drive.

Select "OK".

Select "Next".

Wait for the installation process to complete. The machine will reboot a couple times. If prompted to press a key to boot from CD or DVD, do not press anything, because we do not want to do that.

Select your region.

Select your keyboard layout.

Skip adding a second keyboard layout.

Allow Windows to lie to you while it phones home.

Select "Domain join instead".

Set a username. For this tutorial, we'll use user. Select "Next".

Set a password. For this tutorial, we'll use password. Select "Next".

Confirm your password. Select "Next".

Our first dog's name was password. Select "Next".

Surprisingly, we were also born in the city of password. Select "Next".

This cannot possibly be a coincidence! Our childhood nickname was also password. Select "Next".

Disable some of Microsoft's malware by checking "No" for all options. Then select "Accept".

Select "Not now".

Allow Microsoft to continue lying to you and wait until the install finishes.

Eventually, you'll be greeted with a clean desktop.
