im ready to load windows and parallels,I've looked at the tutorials and I don't see if I need to partition my Mac HD before I start or will parallels do that
Hi David1234,
It is not necessary to create a separate partition on your Macintosh HD to install Parallels Desktop. You can install it without creating any partition.
To get started with Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac, please follow the docs and videos provided in this article: http://kb.parallels.com/en/122673
