On the next screen, you can use the recommended memory size of 1024 MB – this corresponds to the Raspberry Pi 3’s memory size. The next screen is about adding a hard disk to your new virtual machine. Plug the HDMI monitor, keyboard, mouse and SD card into the Raspberry PI board. Switch the monitor power on and connect the 5V power supply to the Raspberry PI micro USB connector.

I bought a raspberry pi2 and 7 inch waveshare touchscreen. The SD card came along with the system already flashed. It turns on and everything works, but how do I activate the virtual keyboard. Do I need a USB keyboard initially to do so?

First thing to do:
- Open terminal
Second you will need to update the repositories:
sudo apt-get update
An upgrade to the whole system isn't needed but it is recommended:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Now we can install the virtual keyboard:
sudo apt-get install matchbox-keyboard
Rebooting is recommended:
sudo reboot
Now you can access the keyboard:
Menu >> Accessories >> Keyboard
If the keyboard isn't visible on the menu you can enable it by going to:
Menu >> Preferences >> Main Menu Editor
Install Touch Screen Raspberry Pi
There you will be able to enable the keyboard.
If everything has gone perfectly you will now have an onscreen keyboard.
