    I have a MBA with Parallels 7. In order to use typical windows keystrokes, etc, I'd like to see if there is a way, without a total resinatll of all the Windows apps, to move the parallels install to a boot camp type setup so that instead of booting to Mac OS I have an option to boot to Windows directly. Or maybe, there is a better solution in terms of setups I have missed.

    I run Windows Excel probably as much as any app in either OS. Some of the keystrokes I am used to using on a Windows based PC do not work exactly the same with running Excel for Windows on my MPA via parallels. I'm not sure I am being clear enough, but what I basically want to do is to have parallels either boot completely to a windows emulation or if this is not possibe, have it "moved" to a boot camp styled start-up so I can choose being Windows or OS X. Clear as mud?

    Or ...maybe asked a different way...how can I make the Windows Keyboard function like a windows Keyboard instead of the Mac Keyboard?

    I found how I can chnage the characterictics of the Mac keyboard function keys and this seems to solve my immediate problem. Still wonder if there is an easy way to ove my extising windows installation to a Boot Drive
