Step 2: Creating New Virtual Machine

A Parallels Desktop Virtual Machine is virtual hardware for your Windows or any other operating system you want to install.

1. Launch Parallels Desktop application  (in the Applications folder) and select File → New… as shown below:

2. Select a source for installation by clicking on Install Windows from DVD or image file

Note: If you have a Boot Camp partition with Windows on your Mac, you will see additional icon Install from Boot Camp.

Step 3: Select source to install from

You may install Windows either from DVD or .iso disk image. Important notice: Windows installation files with .exe extensions are not supported.

Installing Windows from DVD:

  • Insert the Windows installation disk into the Mac’s DVD-ROM drive.
  • Select Install Windows from DVD or image file.
  • Select the Windows installation disc from the Install from menu

Installing Windows from an image file:

  • Select ‘choose an image file” in the drop-down list and provide the path to the image file.

Step 4: Windows product key

Click Continue. In the Windows Product Key window, be sure to leave Express installation selected:

NOTE: If you deselect Express installation, you will need to manually install Parallels Tools after the installation to allow the most seamless operation between Windows and Mac OS X.

It is also recommended that you use the 64-bit version of Windows, but if you want to use the 32-bit version, deselect 64-bit Windows version. When ready, click Continue.

Step 5: Select type of Integration with OS X

Select how you want to use Windows:

  • Like a Mac: Windows programs appear on the Mac desktop, just like Mac applications. Documents and media from Mac OS X and Windows are kept together on your Mac.
  • Like a PC: The Windows desktop and programs appear in a single window, separate from Mac applications. You can drag and drop objects between Windows and the Mac.
