Hello, I'm currently running Parallels 9 to run Windows XP and Quickbooks Pro 2010. If I upgrade to Parallels 11 will I still be able to operate Windows XP or will I have to upgrade the windows software as well?
Hi GrantC1, Yes, you can run Windows XP on Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac, plz refer to http://kb.parallels.com/123276 to know Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac system requirements and supported guest Operating systems.
Thanks Ram, so if I purchase Parallels 11 for Mac and download the new operating system Windows XP and Quickbooks Pro 2010 will work just fine with the new OS? Will I require to upgrade either of them? Will I have to reload Windows XP and Quickbooks after Parallels 11 is downloaded? I don't have the CD with Windows XP anymore.
Hi, after Parallels Desktop 11 upgrade your VM will be saved, and it's not necessary to download OS again.
Thanks again Ram, I purchased Parallels 11 today and the download went seemlessly. Everything is working great. Thanks for your help and making me feel more confident in moving forward.
