    I'm running Parallels desktop5 on a MAC with OS X (10.6.8) It flawlessly allows me to run XP programs!!! I'm thinking of updating the IMAC to LION (10.7.2) but have these questions:
    What should I do first? Update LION first or Parallels first? In the updating process will all my present desktop 5 settings remain in tact and be considered by desktop 7? Do I have to uninstall desktop5 and any point? Have any of you done what I want to do and how did it go?? It there anything that I should do to make this Parallels update easy? Is there any on-line update instrctions? THANKS

    Hello Dave,

    Parallels Desktop 5 is not compatible with Mac OS Lion, so i suggest to upgrade Parallels first so that you can ajust all settings and make sure everything works fine - and upgrade your OS after that
