The good news is that the more you upgrade Parallels, the easier it is to use, and with version 9, I find it easy to install Windows on a virtual machine. If you have seen the video above, you can imagine something, here are the notes:

1 - The first step is running Parallels Desktop, the software requires you to enter email and pass. Please note, Parallels account, not your email account. If you do not have an account, you can click 'Create new account' to create a new account .

2 - After you have logged in, the next step is to enter Parallels' registration number, if you do not have one, select 'Get trial' .

After activating Parallels registration, the preparation is complete. And now, install Windows on the virtual machine. As shown in the picture below, you can see there are quite a few options, not only Windows but also Windows 8.1, Android, Chrome OS, Ubuntu and even OS X also.

4 - Download the ISO file of the Windows 7 installer. Click on Image File and drag the file and import window. Previously Parallels still read the ISO file but somehow it reported an error, but no problem, you can still install Windows.

5 - Integration Options panel to let you choose the display type of the virtual machine: Like a Mac means that Windows software windows will mix with Mac OS - Like a PC software, which means that the virtual machine will display in A separate window, the software will be packed in this window.
