    WTH. I just purchased and update to Parallels 11. I downloaded an iso to install windows 10 BUT I followed the directions within Parallels 11 to use the upgrade to windows 10 option that was imbedded. I installed and now when I go to Parallel 11 icon to start windows it say starting windows 7 and then I have features of windows 10.

    I used this virtual machine on Macbook Pro 15 haswell qaud core i7 2.6ghz with 16gb ram with 2gb ram set for the VM as recommended. My main use is for Quicken 2014 and updated for proper fullscreen appearance which does not work. Half of the app has normal size and the other part is microscopic.

    I think the built in updating process to win 10 failed and there is no option to reinstall. I was never asked for my key to properly activate windows.

    This process has been poor execute. Any help would be great.
