[QUOTE="MikeV99, post: 1382474, member: 201731"] Parallels is the control program for any of the virtual machines you may wish to install. You can install any numbers of OSs, each in its own virtual machine. After installing Parellels I told it I wanted to install a Windows XP virtual machine on an external hard disk. It set up the virtual machine then asked for the source for the XP system (I used a CD) and then did a complete install of Windows XP. Although the Windows system wants to go out and get updates, I do not get them. Since I am using it only periodically for a couple of apps and rarely connect to the Internet it is not worth the effort. Regards, Mike [/QUOTE]
