[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 464463, member: 24098"] If XP works for you and you don't need any of the features of Vista, I would say just keep it. Vista is far more resource intensive than XP - and if all you're using it for is to run the occasional Windows program, you'll be fine. If you want to install Vista, I would delete the existing VM (open Parallels, select your Windows XP VM and then click the File menu and Delete). Then start a new VM and choose Vista as the OS type. I would strongly advise against doing an in-place upgrade. [/QUOTE]
