	~~wef~~		Click on 'Security Groups'. You can leave the security group set to 'default' if you want, but be warned the unmodified default security denies any inbound traffic, so you won't be able to remotely connect (or even ping) your instance with this group unless you modify the security group. If you created a security group more fitting to this instance, select it here.

			Click on 'Key Pair'. Select your keypair.

			For the majority of users, the remaining options (Configuration, Server Groups, Scheduler Hints, etc. ) are unnecessary. Once you have defined your name, boot volume, flavor, network, security group, and key pair, you are ready to go. Simply click 'Launch Instance' and your virtual machine will be created!

			The instance creation process should take less than a minute, but Windows instances may take a few minutes to complete their setup process, rebooting several times as new virtual hardware is installed.

			For assistance in logging in to your new virtual machine, please review our [[Logging in to a new virtual machine]] article.
