    I'm running Parallels for Mac V14.1, and before I update to Mojave I'd like to have an option in place for running 32-bit apps.
    I am posting this for confirm that a High Sierra Guest under a Mojave host will still be able to run such apps. Some browsing on these forums give one instance with a positive outcome. Do others out there have experience with this circumstance?

    Hi @Bob12 , are you trying to install mac Os High Sierra as a virtual machine keeping Mojave as Host?

    I neglected follow-up on this question - I am still interested in knowing if a High Sierra Guest under a Mojave host will be able to run 32-bit apps.

    Yes - there are a couple of 32 bit apps that I would like to continue to use once I take the plunge and move my Mac over to Mojave.
    I was thinking I would set up a High Sierra virtual machine, that I would then run under Mojave, to run these 32 bit apps.
    Will this work? Or will the 64 bit rule reach through to the High Sierra virtual machine?
    Thanks,
    - Bob

    Is there a real answer here? The one-word reply doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

    @Bob12 your VM will be the same as it be when you installed it. So apps inside your VM will be the same too.
    You can update your MacOS, then start Parallels Desktop vm and use it as usual.
    Plz let us know if it's not that case.

    Thanks. That's what I wanted to know, from a source I deem trustworthy.
