I haven't installed anything yet, but I'm concerned that I'll run into issues. I'm only installing Windows because I want (aka need) Office Pro 2016. I already have all the license keys paid for all, I just can't find out if this will work or not.
I have a brand new MBP (2.9ghz/512gb/16gb). Nothing installed, clean slate and I have an external DVD.
I have an OEM 64 bit Windows 7 Disc ready for use, see article that Windows 10 upgrade is possible ([3] link below), and then I have a 64bit Office Pro 2016 via download only. All the instructions I see on Parallels.com says I need disc or iso for the MS Office install. Here is my plan [1]-[4].
[1]. Install Parallels 11 - simple enough
[2]. Install Windows 7 - http://kb.parallels.com/123284
[3]. Upgrade to Windows 10 - http://kb.parallels.com/122884
[4]. Install Office - http://kb.parallels.com/119310
The problem I see is with [4]. I don't have a disc. I download a 4mb exe file and run that, which does the MS Office download, install, etc.
Can anyone confirm if I can install MS Office via download from my freshly installed Windows 10 VM Install?
Thanks for your time.
