[QUOTE="MacLover2011, post: 1799593, member: 202621"] I am trying to learn to use Parallels to run Windows on my Mac so I can use Articulate Storyline 360. It only runs on Windows. I installed Parallels and made the mistake of installing Windows 10. But I purchased Windows 8.1 Pro several years ago and I have the Product Key for it. Obviously, I can't use the Product Key from a Windows 8.1 Pro purchase for Windows 10. As a result, I want to use Windows 8 on Parallels. The problem is, several years ago I ran VMWare Fushion on my Mac but deleted the files. I obviously did not delete all of the files correctly, because it looks like Parallel can't use Windows 8 because it gives me the message below: "This VMware Fusion virtual machine cannot be converted to the Parallels format because it is suspended. You need to shut it down first. For more details, please see here. OK" What steps should I take to make sure I can't get rid of what's left from VMWare Fusion so I can install Windows 8 on Parallel? Thank you very much for your help. [/QUOTE]
