I am sitting here with my Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac and I don't understand which to install first. Parallels or Windows. I have a MacBook and I really don't know which version of Windows I need. I just need to run Internet Explorer to access my Real Estate Listing Service (which only runs on Windows). Help. I know this is a more technical site - but a little direction will go a long way.
Hello Katie, At first you should install Parallels Desktop, and then when you start it first time you will be suggested to create new Virtual Machine and install Windows. Here is the list of supported Windows versions: Windows Vista® Ultimate, Enterprise, Business Windows Server® 2003 Standard Edition SP0, SP1 Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP0, SP1 Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP0, SP1 Windows XP Professional SP0, SP1,SP2 Windows XP Home SP0, SP1,SP2 Windows 2000 Professional Edition SP4 Windows 2000 Server SP4 Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 Windows NT® Workstation 4.0 SP6 Windows NT Server 4.0 SP6 Windows ME Windows 98 Windows 95 Windows 3.11 Windows 3.1 But the most common and frequently used are Windows XP and Windows Vista.
