    My old Imac failed to startup, SSD is dead .
    I still have my second SSD (works perfect ) with bootcamp (windows) .
    Now i have a brand new Imac and i want to attach that ssd with bootcamp (windows) which is is external connected .
    Is it possible to add in Parallels ? Please advice, thank you
     
  2. Hi, yes you can connect external SSD to new Mac and import a virtual machine based on Boot Camp partition. Refer to https://kb.parallels.com/113658 . Once imported you can run virtual machine with Parallels Desktop without having to connect the external SSD. Thanks, Abhishek.
