Switching from Parallels to Bootcamp

I have a licensed install of windows 10 running under Parallels 11 on a MacBook pro running os Sierra. I want to move from Parallels to Bootcamp. Can I locate an ISO image of this windows install and move it over to a Bootcamp or create an ISO image to then reinstall it onto a Bootcamp drive. I want to avoid the whole lengthy reinstall from disk messing about since my copy of Windows came from a version of 7 that I had bought then later upgraded to 10. To start from scratch with a clean install means I will lose a lot of data/software and all the updates will take forever.

Any help as to how to do this would be appreciated
 
Guna@Parallels,

Is it possible now? Have updates been made? What exactly are the differences between a Windows 10 instance in Parallels vs a Windows 10 instance Bootcamped??

Apart from Windows experiencing general virtualization limitations when running under Parallels, there are no differences whatsoever.

If your concern is converting your Windows virtual machine into a bootcamp installation, there is no such feature. But this can probably serve as a good feature request - https://forum.parallels.com/forums/parallels-desktop-for-mac-feature-suggestions.769/ -.
