    I'm trying to set up Windows 8.1 on my macbook with Parallels. I installed parallels fine, it found the windows 8.1 iso fine, it took my product key but then just after it was starting setup it just gave me the error message "No images are available." and I couldn't proceed further. Help? Macbook pro 10.9.3, Parallels downloaded today.

    Hi All,

    Please follow the steps as suggested below:

    1. Please follow the steps suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/4729 to initiate installation.
    2. In Step 4 where it says Enter your Windows product key uncheck Express installation and uncheck “This version requires a product key” > click continue.

    Note: If you uncheck Express installation, you will need to manually install Parallels Tools( http://kb.parallels.com/112609 ) after the installation and manually activate Windows 8.
