Hi Larry, Parallels Desktop 10 is compatible with almost all Windows operating system. Selecting the version of Windows depends on end user requirement. Parallels Desktop 10 system requirements: http://kb.parallels.com/en/122662 OEM versions of Windows are designed to be sold to system builders, so they have minimal packaging and only allow you to perform a full install; the option to upgrade from your older version of Windows is not available. Also, OEM Windows doesn't include free phone support from Microsoft because you, as the 'system builder', are supposed to provide it. Please let us know if you have an questions.
