We're going to leave everything as default and click on next uh user experience settings .

Now , if you want to participate , you can leave these selected , I'll leave this up to you .

Uh and then click on next and we like to have some desktops , shortcuts .

So I'll just leave that the way it is and now it's ready to install so we can click on install and it's going to unpack everything on the desktop .

Now , if you have a PC that is older than 2011 , you might run into some support issues with um VMWARE , not installing correctly on your PC or virtualization , not running as efficiently .
