We specify the size for storage. Then we create the machine.
We press start and the machine starts.
We select the previously downloaded Oracle Linux 7.8 iso file and continue.
We choose Settings-> System-> Pointing Device: USB Tablet so that the mouse can work both in the virtual machine and in windows.
We select the Install Oracle Linux 7 option and start the installation.

SELINUX = permissive
