My present set up: Parallels 7 Windows XP Windows 8.1 When I open Parallels I select the Windows environment, XP or 8.1. I intend to purchase P9. I want to run Win 8.1 only and no longer use XP. I'd like to be able to take everything from XP into 8.1 as I upgrade to P9. Is this going to be a complicated procedure, or will the install/upgrade to P9 direct me? Are there any things I should know in advance? Thanks.
Hi Axeman21, Yes, you can upgrade to Parallels Desktop 9 and use Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine with Windows XP Hard Disk attached as a secondary drive. Your XP programs cannot be migrated to 8.1 but you will have access to your files. Thanks, Manoj
