I have wanted a Mac for years but until recently, you just couldn't buy one in PR. So now I finally have my iMac and I'm trying to figure out using the Parallels transfer setup.
The PC I'm moving from has Vista Home Premium (OEM) and reading through the manual I got with my Parallels Switch to Mac (version 4.0), it said I had to have Vista Ultimate or Vista Business, neither of which is available. OK. I came to the Parallels site and I saw that the version of Parallels that I bought a few days ago is out of date for almost a year and a new version is offered as a free trial. Reading around I got the instructions to download the new version and enter the unregistered product key from the version 4 that I had just bought. It appears to be properly installed and now I see that this version can install from Vista Home Premium.
Since I have already ordered a Windows7 Upgrade because of what the version 4.0 manual said, it would be better not to transfer from the OEM Vista Home Premium if in a few days I will be able to upgrade the PC to Windows7 and then migrate over to my iMac, or am I missing days on the Mac by waiting to upgrade before transferring?
I have been reading around the forum some and I see some people are having trouble upgrading after migrating. I'm trying to minimize problems.
