Hi all,
Parallels on new iMac 2017 27".
I am trying to install Windows 7 from an image I made myself from a real Windows DVD... fully legit.
It starts the windows VM, and I can see the Windows install process starting.... but then it stops:
Why might this be happening?
Thank you for your very kind help.
[EDIT: I think I know! This is a windows 7 UPGRADE disc for systems that already have XP. My bad.]
Next question... I have Windows 8.1 Pro on an OEM install disk... but I is my understanding that this disk won't work either.
It's sure frustrating to have purchased all of these versions of windows, but then not have way to use them. Suggestions? I would be so pissed if I had to purchase windows AGAIN. sigh.
