    I want to move Windows 7 from my hard drive to an SSD on the same machine. I'm running Parallels 8 on Mavericks.
    What's the easiest way?
    Do I have to do a complete W7 install?
    Can I clone my Windows install?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Krawfo,

    Please follow the steps as suggested given below :

    1. Locate the virtual machine on your Mac Hard Drive. ( http://kb.parallels.com/117333 )

    By default Virtual Machine files are saved to either Documents/Parallels folder inside your user folder, or to /Users/Shared/Parallels.

    2. Copy .pvm file to your SSD.

    3. Double-click on your .pvm file from your SSD to start your Virtual Machine.
