When creating a VM, setting the proper Operating System(OS) allows {pve} to
optimize some low level parameters. For instance Windows OS expect the BIOS
clock to use the local time, while Unix based OS expect the BIOS clock to have
the UTC time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On VM creation you can change the type some basic system components of the new
VM. You can specify which xref:qm_display[display type] you want to use.

Additionally, the xref:qm_hard_disk[SCSI controller] can be changed.
If you plan to install the QEMU Guest Agent, or if your selected ISO image
already ships and installs it automatically, you may want to tick the 'Qemu
Agent' box, which lets {pve} know that it can use its features to show some
more information, and complete some actions (for example, shutdown or
snapshots) more intelligently.
{pve} allows to boot VMs with different firmware and machine types, namely
xref:qm_bios_and_uefi[SeaBIOS and OVMF]. In most cases you want to switch from
the default SeabBIOS to OVMF only if you plan to use
xref:qm_pci_passthrough[PCIe pass through]. A VMs 'Machine Type' defines the
hardware layout of the VM's virtual motherboard. You can choose between the
default https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_440FX[Intel 440FX] or the

chipset, which also provides a virtual PCIe bus, and thus may be desired if
one want's to pass through PCIe hardware.
