    Hi

    I am new to parallels.

    I am trying to install windows 7 using an ISO file on the latest version of parallels just downloaded and am on Sierra 10.12.3.

    I keep getting the above error, i.e. no boot device available and have attached a screen dump.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Regards

    Dave.

    Hi DaveM5, make sure you have Windows 7 ISO is downloaded completely. Try disabling Express Installation in Parallels Desktop installation wizard and continue Windows installation manually.
