I am using Mojave on my Macbook Pro, and want to also install Mojave on my new Parallels app so I can use Adobe Programs that will not run once I upgrade my laptop OS. In other words, I want to install Mojave as a virtual machine in Parallels.
Perhaps I am being unnecessarily cautious, but when I go to install it using the instructions (open Parallels, under File > New > Free Systems > Install Mac OS 10.16.14 using Recovery Partition) once I click to install it asks me where and gives me two choices: the recovery partition or on the Macintosh HD. It does not indicate that it is installing in Parallels as a virtual machine. This may sound silly, but I want to make sure that I am installing in Parallels, and am not accidentally over-writing my my own laptop system!
Can anyone verify that this is the correct way to do it. I have asked Parallels customer service themselves, but have not gotten any answers and, on a couple of other questions, they pretty much avoided the questions entirely.
Thanks in advance,
Debbie
