 - For Windows 10 - [New Microsoft Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal) is highly recommended (correct colors, menus, etc)
 
-# Utility usage
-Clone repository or use compiled .exe from [Releases Tab](https://github.com/OVERLORD7F/SpaceVM_VM_Utility/releases)
+# Utility usage options:
++ Clone repository, run `main.py` using python
++ Use precompiled .exe from [Releases Tab](https://github.com/OVERLORD7F/SpaceVM_VM_Utility/releases)
 
-Fill in the config file as stated below.
+## Config / Profile File
+Directory _./profiles_ contains all configured profiles with necessary data for utility. 
 
-## Config File (SpaceVM_Utility.conf)
-_SpaceVM_Utility.conf_ contains all necessary data for utility and has to be placed in the same directory as Utility itself.

-You can create config and change specific options within the Utility.
+This directory will be placed in the same directory as Utility itself.
