I'm new to Parallels and I can only buy Windows 8, either 32 or 64 bit from Microsoft. I purchased on NOS copy of parallels 7 and am using it on a macbook with 10.6.8 OS? Will Windows 8 work on my machine and if so, should I buy 32 or 64 bit.

Thanks

Hi Squeegee,

You can install Windows 8 OS in Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac.

Windows 8 will work in PD 7 but you will not have the entire functionality of the OS like Graphics, Display, etc.

We suggest you to Purchase PD 9 in which the entire functionality of Windows 8 OS is compatible.

Use a 64-bit version Windows 8 if your RAM memory is more than 4 GB else you can choose 32-bit.


Thanks,
Abdul
