    hello
    i am running a virtual-windows7 on my iMac- is there any way to upgrade the vm to windows 10?- a clean install of windows10 makes no sense because my most used windows program is coreldraw 10 and there is no way to install this under windows10- therefore i would like to try upgrading the existing, and working windows7-vm...
    hope you can help me

    hello
    thank you for your quick reply- i am using pd12 running on mac os 10.11.(el capitan). as far as i could find out, the easyest way, would be to migrate a complete windows-installation from a pc into a vm using the parallels transporter- the only problem in this case is, that i do not have a windows-pc running winows10 on hand....:-(
