    Does anyone know if this is possible with Parallels 11 in El Capitan 10.11.5?

    I think what Randy was asking is.... using Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.5, can Parallels Desktop 11 run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8?
    Now I have the same question myself... I am looking to purchase a new iMac and I would want to run 10.6.8 as a VM......... AND is this possible on a new 2016 iMac under OS 10.11.5?

    (Parallels site says it can only run snow leopard SERVER and not the usual install disk)

    Hi PeterD7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server 10.6.x is supported as a virtual machine in Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac but Snow Leopard 10.6.x is not supported. You can find the supported guest operating systems in Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac in this article.
