    hi guys!

    I have been trying to work with crazy talk which seems to be a great software for windows, but! i have a Mac...
    so i download the trial version of parallels an i'm really excited of having both OS...

    the point here is that when I installed parallels I did it with windows 8 developer... and this specific software I need to work with is not compatible...

    so I need you help me with some advice on how can I switch windows 8 developer to windows 7 or vista...

    Thanks!!

    Hi Sandra!

    You have to buy a Windows 7 license!

    (Windows 8 that is available thru Parallels is a free preview provided by Microsoft)

    first time I installed parallels the system asked me if I wanted to download windows 8 or instal another windows version from cd or other devices...

    I have my old windows xp instalation cd... but I don't know how to go back to that window!!!
