Hi MarcelM1,
Additionally, you may also try reinstalling Parallels Tools and check this article to change the mouse settings.
 
I also noticed this same issue when installing Windows 10 to the Parallels Desktop that this same issue occurs in Windows 10 which makes me believe the issue is with Parallels Desktop not the individual windows software.

Hi @MarcelM1,
Could you check if the left and right mouse clicks are switched internally in your Windows virtual machine as outlined in this Microsoft discussion. Also, check if you have set the 'secondary click' in your Mac mouse settings properly, Apple->System Preferences->Mouse.
 
I have tried to access these settings and i found that it was not ticked but when i tried to click it wouldn't work due to the left/right click issue i had in the first place.Is there another way i can click this box with the keyboard not the mouse to try to fix the issue.

After much googling i found to press the spacebar to change the setting and both windows 7 and 10 on parallels work fine now.Thankyou Sasti
 
I was just wondering i have noticed that when i changed that setting it did not allow me to use the right click any more. I dont mind but it would be easier to be able to use both.

Thanks
