| Once you have reviewed all the tabs and defined your virtual machine, click on the Launch button and your virtual machine will be created. The Instances list will be displayed and the Task field will show the current task for the VM; it will likely be "Block Device Mapping" initially. Once the VM has spawned and beginning to boot, it will have the Power State of "Running". It will likely take 10+ minutes to finish creating the volume and coping the image to it before beginning to boot. | | Once you have reviewed all the tabs and defined your virtual machine, click on the Launch button and your virtual machine will be created.

| When the VM first boots it will not finish booting until location, language, and keyboard settings are selected and you agree to the license using the console built into the OpenStack dashboard.
| |
|
| |
| To get to the console:
| |
| # Go to ''Instances'' on the left hand menu.
| |
| # Click on the ''Instance Name'' of your Windows VM.
| |
| # Click on the ''Console'' tab to display the ''Instance Console'' and wait until you see a ''Settings'' screen as shown in the figure to the right.<br/>If you waited a significant amount of time the console screen may have gone into a screensaver mode (blank/black screen). If this is case, click on the blank/black screen so that it gains focus and if necessary press a key on your keyboard to wake it up.
| |
|
| |
| The console mouse pointer often lags behind the actual mouse pointer location. You can either try to account for the lag or use keyboard shortcuts when the console screen has focus.
| |
| * The ''tab'' key will select different fields.
| |
| * The ''up'' and ''down'' arrows will select different options.
| |
| * Under the ''Country or region'' drop down menu, letter keys move to the top of the countries beginning with that letter.
| |
| * Finally press the ''tab'' key until the ''next'' box is selected then press the ''enter'' key.
| |
|
| |
| You will then be presented with a request to accept the terms and conditions of the license agreement.
| |
| * Press the ''tab'' key until the ''I accept'' box is highlighted.
| |
| * Press the ''enter'' key.
| |
|
| |
| At this point your VM will restart. Once it finishes restarting the ''Console'' will display a sign in screen with the current (UTC) time and date.
