    Hello. I just downloaded the trial version of Parallels for Mac and installed a Windows 8.1 virtual machine and I LOVE IT but I tried to upgrade the VM to Windows 10 but was unable to do so because Windows 10 requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM and the trial version of parallels only has 1 GB of virtual RAM. If I buy a license for the home version, will the 8 GB of virtual RAM allow me to upgrade to Windows 10 and will it work? I would assume so but I just wanted to make sure before I pay for a license.

    Thank you!
