    Hello
    Newbie questions here.
    You probably heard this before but if someone could assist that would be great.
    I have a MAC power book pro and a Mac desktop and want to know do I install Parallels first and then install windows 8 and if there is anything else I should know about installing.
    If so once loaded onto the machine can I then install my desired windows software that I want to use on the mac.
    Also do I need two licensed copies of Parallels and Windows 8 one for each machine?
    Thanks for your help.
    Frankie

    You first install Parallels desktop, you then create your virtual machine using the desired operating system.
    This knowledge base article gives step by step instruction on how to create your virtual machine:http://kb.parallels.com/en/4729
