[QUOTE="-Ryder-, post: 1774867, member: 396406"] 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: [ATTACH=FULL]27301[/ATTACH] 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. Ryder [/QUOTE]
