Parallels Desktop 13 workaround with High Sierra incompatiblity

I found using double partition and boot into Yosemite and installed Parallels 13 under Yosemite; the installer immediately found the BootCamp partition with Windows 10 and installed with no problem. I found this works faster and uses only app 260megs hard disc space for the VM (already have allocated HD space on the WIN 10 install). I found that installing under High Sierra (with difficulty) uses over 14 gigs of HD space and is not VM capable. Running under Yosemite is allowed since your copy of WIN10 is already activated. I'll do this until there is a install fix with High Sierra.
 
I have 3 partitions, High Sierra,Yosemite,and Windows.on boot up you log onto the Yosemite OS so you can then install and run Parallels with Yosemite.You cannot install and run Parallels with High Sierra.I expect a compatible update from Parallels soon.

Hi @SteveT8, as a workaround, please check out the steps mentioned below:

1. Disable System Integrity Protection (SIP).

2. Restart the Mac, on Apple logo loading screen press CMD + R to boot into Recovery.

3. In Recovery, on Mac menu bar locate Utilities menu > open Terminal application.

4. Type in the commands below one-by-one:

csrutil disable

5. reboot
6. Back in a normal mode remove the existing machine or create the new one, depending on the customer's scenario.

7. Boot macOS into Recovery again and enable SIP back running the following Terminal commands:

csrutil enable
