After reviewing all specs, it is clear that I cannot upgrade directly from 7 to 11. Right now I have Parallels 7 working on Lion 10.7.5. It appears that I have to upgrade to 9, then upgrade my Mac software, upgrade to 11 then upgrade my Mac software again? The issue is not hardware. The Mac I have can handle the new software...it's just getting there. Recommendations? What are the potential complications? Thank you.
