This topic will be divided into 2 parts, in this first part will cover the first steps to install Windows via Parallels Desktop 9 , the second part will talk about basic settings to be able to use the part. Soft better. In addition to Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion is also a good choice.
Now we'll start working with Parallels Desktop 9, the things you need to prepare are:
Download the 14-day trial version, if you want to use it for a long time, you must buy for $ 80.
To install Windows, you need to have a CDd disk installed with Windows or more convenient than using an IOS file. If you choose Windows 8.1 Preview , Parallels will download and install it yourself, the trial registration code will automatically be updated. Here, we choose Windows 7 .
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.
3 - If you want to set up a new virtual machine with Windows 7, then select the first option: 'Install Windows or OS another from a DVD or image file'.
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.
6 - The last step click Continue to proceed to install Windows into the virtual machine. The installation process depends on your device configuration. Usually in less than 30 minutes.
Now you can use Windows.
