    I have 2 Windows XP virtual machines in Parallels. I'd like to combine them into one virtual machine. Is this possible

    I'm not sure I understand what you want to do here. How should they be combined? What do you want the final result to be?

    Hi,
    Let me explain. I have two virtual disks, one was Win7, the other Win8. I upgraded the Win8 to Win10 and will do the same for the Win7. Once I do that, I want to know if I can merge the two hdd's or virtual drives because two will no longer be necessary. I don't want to lose the content of the Win7 virtual hard drive because it has more content than the former Win8 virtual hard drive. Also, if it is possible to merge the two virtual hard drives, do they both need to be the same version of the operating system. In other words, do I really need to upgrade the Win7 virtual hard drive before merging it with the Win10 virtual hard drive?
