The name of the domain ("win7") as well as its label ("green") are just exemplary of course.
**Note:** It is unnecessary for Qubes 4 users to pass in the `--hvm` switch. To create a StandaloneVM in Qubes 4, use the --class option, as VMs are template-based by default:

The above command assumes the installation ISO was transferred to Dom0 (copied using `dd` command from an installation CDROM for example). If one wishes to use the actual physical media without copying it first to a file, then one can just pass `/dev/cdrom` as an argument to `--cdrom`:
The above first command assumes the installation ISO was transferred to a DispVM (copied using `dd` command from an installation CDROM for example). The second is for when the iso is in Dom0, which is not recommended.
