Hello, Andy. What is the Windows version you're planning to run under Parallels Desktop? And what is the total/remaining disk space on your Mac?

Hi
I can run either 7 or 10.
Would prefer 10 but 7 will do if 10 is a bit heavy on resources.

Thanks
Andy

@AndyA1 Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac supports both Windows 10 and Windows 7. Choice of the operating system is yours. If you have apps that run only in Windows 7 environment go with the same. If you want the latest Windows 10, yes you can install it too.
Note- Windows 10 requires at least 2 gigabytes of RAM to run.
