Hi,
I am thinking about buying a Macbook Pro Retina and I was wondering whether it is possible to install Windows 7 using an upgrade CD on Parallels rather than using the full version? I have read on some sites that it is possible (and legal) provided you have purchased Windows 7/Vista and hold a licence for it (which I do) and some places say it is not possible to do so through parallels as it will search for a previous install of Windows. I read somewhere that this can be bypassed by selecting custom install and doing a clean install of Windows?
Also, if I buy the 64-bit version, I won't have problems running 32-bit programs and games right?
Thank you!
