    Hello
    This is my first post here and I hope that I will be able to find help with my issue.
    I have 2 128 Gb SSD on my machine and I don't want to install windows on the same SSD my Mac OS X 10.10 is installed beacuse the small drive.
    I have another SSD and I want to ask if it's possible to install the windows 8.1 or windows 10 on the other SSD I have.
    I know that the Parallels Deskop is installed on my main SSD but I want to be able to install the windows on the other SSD so I have plenty of room.

    Is it possible and if yes how do I make it happened

    Thank

    Hi OfirA1,
    You can create a Boot Camp partition on the Mac Hard Drive and after that follow the steps suggested at, http://kb.parallels.com/112941

    Hi OfirA1, please follow the steps suggested below:
    1. Locate the virtual machine on your old Mac hard drive,
    2. By default virtual machine files are saved either to the Documents/Parallels folder inside your user folder, or to/Users/Shared/Parallels.
    3. Move the .pvm file to other SSD Drive.
    4. Double-click on the .pvm file to start your virtual machine.
