# Get-OSDCloudVMDefaults

There function is used to return the OSDCloudVM defaults.  The defaults are set in the OSD Module by importing the settings from the **`OSD.json`** file that exists in the root of the OSD Module.  This file cannot be changed

When creating a new OSDCloud VM, these defaults will be used to create the Virtual Machine.  Most of the values used are defaults that are required for Windows 11, although I would recommend using more powerful settings if your system can handle it.  The defaults represent the Minimum level that should be used with an OSDCloud VM
