Just curious (and not truly understanding how virtualization works), but I currently use Parallels with several different Windows versions (XP, 7, 8, 10). I am looking at upgrading to the new iMac when it comes out and I understand that it will have the the Kaby Lake CPU from Intel, from what I read... "Microsoft only officially supports Kaby Lake on computers running Windows 10 per support policies, and Windows Update blocks updates from being installed on Kaby Lake systems running versions older than Windows 10. In support of this position, Intel only provides chipset drivers for Windows 10.[24][25][26]"
Does this mean that Parallels VM's older than Windows 10 will not work on the new iMac, or does Parallels "trick" the old Windows OS to think it's using a different processor than Kirby Lake? It's important that I can still use Windows VMs older than Windows 10 on my new iMac. Thanks for any info!
