The hardware version of a virtual machine (VM) reflects the virtual hardware features and functions that the VM supports, which in turn relate to the hardware available on a physical host. When you create a VM, you can choose either the default hardware version or an earlier version.

How do I make my VM more responsive?

Install more RAM in your VM host, and assign it to your VM guests. The more RAM your VM host has, the smoother it runs. At the very least you should never ever allocate more RAM to your VM guests than your VM host has at its disposal.
