[QUOTE="-Ryder-, post: 1774914, member: 396406"] I actually used my "OEM" 8.1 to make parallels work *after* I reverted to Sierra (from High). Somehow the OEM disk is reported as a full retail disk, possibly because I had my machine built by a smaller company. Anyway, Parallels works amazingly well. Pretty shocked by the performance. I've thrown paint programs at it, rendering programs, STEAM with utilities and games (like 3D coat). It behaves perfectly so far. Apparently the FIRMWARE in this year's iMacs has been changed so that Bootcamp won't support anything but Win 10. Shocking so far as I am concerned.... I was going to return this useless iMac because of this... but Parallels may have just saved the sale. Anyone know what the biggest problem/downside is with Parallels (outside of performance... thinking functionality only here). Using the ports? Printing? Thanks, all. [/QUOTE]
