    You can use Windows installed in Boot Camp as VM, Parallels will do it automatically

    Hi IdoDamary,
    Ummm, there is no need to remove Boot Camp with Parallels. Using Parallels you can use your Boot Camp Partition as the VM, which it will detect the first time you run Parallels. This gives you the choice of running it in Parallels on your Mac desktop, or re-booting into Windows to get full performance. If you want to remove Boot Camp, you will need to use the Boot Camp Utility under Utility.

    Why you want to remove Boot Camp?
    You need to remove Boot Camp only if Windows installed is 64 bit edition
    Otherwise Parallels Desktop will detect Boot Camp installed Windows, and create VM, based on this,
    Boot Camp based VM is more faster
