    I have Parallels 7 installed and running Windows 7 on a first generation Mac Pro. Can I transfer both Parallels 7 and Windows 7 to a new Mac computer? If so, How?

    Sure not problem.
    All you need to do is to locate "Windows 7.pvm" file (take a look in ~/Documents/Parallels/ or /Users/Shared/Parallels/) and copy it to new Mac. (use external hard drive for example).
    Download PD7 dmg file from www.parallels.com/desktop/ and fill in your activation key (activation would be disabled on your old Mac straight away).
