Hello, I have an old virtual machine that I am running via Parallels 7 on my Mac (OS X, v10.7.5). The VM is running Windows XP, and I would very much like to keep that VM exactly as is with all files intact, but I would like to upgrade to the latest version of Parallels so that I can upgrade my Mac. Ideally, I would like to be able to upgrade from 7 to 12, but the only options for purchasing upgrades seem to be for v9 and v10, and I am concerned that if I purchase the latest version of Parallels, it will only be a brand new install and I will lose my VM as it currently exists. It's not a question of the expense, I'll gladly pay the full amount for the new license at this point, but I just don't want to overwrite my files. It is more a question of keeping my existing Parallels VM as is, just running the latest version of Parallels.
I have been avoiding upgrading my Mac from 10.7 specifically because I have heard that my old Parallels 7 will not run on the latest Mac OS, but now I don't know how I can upgrade either one without losing all my old info. Please advise.
