Nothing will change from the 'Basic' event set up on the ‘Basic Info’, ‘Location & Info’, and ‘Event Date & Time’ settings (unless recurring events are enabled). However, the rest of the sections that are displayed in the 'Basic' setup will have more options, and there will be more sections that you are able to fill in.
