    I just got a new MAC computer and need to install parallels on it so I can use my PC programs. I'm using windows 7 on my old computer? My question is how do I install my windows on the mac? I hope I don't have to repurchase a windows installation. Please advise.

    Hi, in order to use Windows on your Mac you can install new virtual machine using your Windows installation CD or .iso file (you can download it from the MS website)
    Please use this KB article for the new VM installation.
    Also you can migrate your Windows from PC to Parallels Desktop and use your windows apps without reinstallation.
    Please check this KB for more information about migration.
    If you're using the Parallels Desktop 12 -> see this KB
    And please let us know if you have any additional questions.
    We will be glad to help.
