    hi

    i am a long long time mac user.
    this will be the first time that i need to deal with the parallel universe.
    i am give my old mac away to my friend, who is a windows guy.
    so i am going to set up this machine for him with parallels 11 and windows 10 on it.

    i want to know if the link on the Windows website will create an ISO file on my mac so that when parallels searches for it, it will find it without my needing to create that ISO file.
    when you purchase Windows there is a page on the Windows store site that says:
    "For system builders or Mac users, buy the full version of Windows 10" and that button says: Buy Windows 10 (Download).
    This page is: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...oductID.319937100?ICID=Windows_Win10Home_ModE
    That means to me that it should be creating an ISO file on my mac. Is this correct?
    There is a different link altogether however that many in this Forum are pointing to that starts out at the top of the page: Download Windows 10 Disk Image (ISO) File.
    This link is: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

    Which link do I purchase so that I do not need to do anything special to create an ISO file?

    Many many thanks for your help!!

    Hi there,
    Sure thing, you can download your Windows 10 installation image with either of the download links from above.
    By default it will be downloaded into your Downloads folder on your Mac side.
    In any case you will always be able to simply drag and drop Windows 10 installation image to Parallels Wizard window.
    Please let me know if you have any other questions
