[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1604915, member: 46727"] Should be no problem using Time Machine. Just make sure you have a full Time Machine backup of your old iMac. When you first turn on your new iMac, the automatic Migration Assistant will appear and ask if you wish to transfer data from another Mac. Answer yes and make sure your Time Machine backup drive is attached. Press "apply" and everything including your Parallels VM with the Windows installation will be transferred. One word of caution: Do not create an account on the new iMac! Let the Migration Assistant run and it will take care of that also. If you create an account first, you will wind up with overlapping accounts and folders and will have to do everything over. [/QUOTE]
