How to create an offline VM (or VM without internet connection)?

[undone]

Hi guys,

I just tried to create a virtual machine running Windows 11 for some offline testing e.g. of different software, but I had to chose a network source while creating it.

 

Is it somehow possible to not give the VM any network connection? (like with Virtual Box where I just remove the network card)

Or is a local connection necessary to connect via VNC? - If so, please let me know if it is possible just in my own network?

 

To transfer files, I would like to copy and past it over VNC, or to allocate a dedicated storage with access for the VM and my PC.

If you remove the mac address on the NIC it will remove the definition from the guest. You will still be able to access via VNC.
