Hi all, can anyone confirm that Windows 10 will run in a Parallels 10 VM on a new MacBook running OS X 10.10.4
I want to install but was told there are no drivers on OSX for it at the moment

If you're going to run Windows 10 in Parallels 10 as a VM then you need to ask the Parallels forum if Parallels 10 supports it. Only if you run Windows 10 via Boot Camp would you need to worry about drivers for your Mac. The virtual software (Parallels, Fusion, VirtualBox) is responsible for supplying what Windows needs to run.

An old article I saw suggests that version 10 supports Windows 10. At worst, it fails and you wait for Parallels to add support.

I'm not sure if it is out just yet, but ISTR seeing a press release for Parallels 11, which is supposed to offer full support for Windows X ... er, I mean, 10.
