Windows XP No Longer Supported, Windows 7 Install Question

[jasdelta]

Hi Folks,

I am currently running my windows guest os using Windows XP Home, which as of April 8th will no longer be supported by Microsoft.
Can anyone give me some guidance on how I can install Windows 7 as a new guest os in PD9 with out any DVD or CD drive?
My iMac 27 is on of the newer ones that has no optical drive.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Jasdelta,

Yes! You can install Windows as Virtual Machine on Parallels Desktop using an ISO image file.

To create an ISO image file, Please follow the steps suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/4729
