    I just bought a new computer and would like to move Parallels, and my HDD, over to it. I downloaded Parallels and tried to activate it with my code, but got a message saying that activation code was no longer good?

    Also, how to migrate the HDD over?

    John, thanks, they replied within 30 minutes. You guys are GREAT.

    So - how do I migrate the VM over? Can I simply copy the .HDD file over or do I have to also make a new VM?

    Simply copy VM folder from old Mac to the same location in new Mac

    Message Windows reactivation

    When moving my parallels folder to the new computer, windows wants to be reactivated for the reason of changed hardware components. Is there a way to get around this issue?

    Thank you!
