    Hi I purchased Parallel 9, and installed windows preview. I then uninstalled windows preview, and purchased windows 8.1 key product from Microsoft website.

    I am experiencing two problems:
    1 - first one is that its telling me the key product is wrong!
    2- second one is the windows screen is too small!!

    I am totally new to this, but i just paid almost 200 to have windows work on my macbook. Please help! Screen Shot 2014-01-18 at 8.42.14 AM.png

    I'm having a similar problem, I installed 8.1 preview and then 8.1 and even after entering product key, Windows 8.1 preview overrides newer 8.1 installation, VERY FRUSTRATING

    I found a solution go to pirate bay dot org search for windows 8.1 iso download the most shared one and locate the file when using parallel its working perfectly now.

    I am contacting Microsof for a refund as I don't need the product key anymore.
