Having problems installing Windows 10 to Parallels 12 on Mac Sierra

Hi there,

Just downloaded Windows 10 (Home) Single language edition. I have read an earlier thread of another user doing this. Like him, I have done this by mistake.

Completely different experience when I contacted Microsoft however. I found them very helpful. The guy directed me to www.microsoft.com/software-download/home, here I could re-install the software in whichever language I chose. I chose English and re-downloaded. However when I went to set this up (as I have read in a previous read regarding download issues), I found that the ISO file still wouldn't download properly in Parellels.

Do you have any suggestions as to what might be going wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, as I understand you cannot install Windows VM in Parallels Desktop. Right?
Did you get any error during the installation?
 
Just thought I would post the reply here. Following this, I went to the Parallels help website and joined the LiveChat. The gent at Parallels was understanding of my ignorance, and kindly did a screen share with me. Fixed the problem straight away and it was all sorted within minutes. Very helpful indeed and I would highly recommend doing that if you run into any issues. 10/10
