    Hello
    Thank you for your tips. I have tried each of them but unfortunately none of them switch the keyboard of my windows 7 as a Mac keyboard.
    I don't know what I can tell you more. I have a Mac and when I run Windows 7 with Parallels, the layout of my mac keyboard is not utilized, only Windows keyboard layout is active.
    When I type the key ! (number 8) it write _ on Windows 7 not ! so it is difficult to use it when writing scripts or coding as you can easily imagine

    Good day.
    I have same problem. I've created custom keyboard layout. But it is unavailable in virtual Win10, only standard Apple layout. What must I do? Скриншот 2017-03-24 13.07.59.png Скриншот 2017-03-24 13.07.59.png Изображение Parallels.png
