Do Parallels virtual machines support 64-bit operating systems?

Article ID: 4780 
Last Review: Oct,1 2009
Author: Ivan Chega
Last updated by: Ivan Chega APPLIES TO:
  • Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.x
  • Parallels Workstation 2.x
  • Parallels Desktop for Mac 2.x

Symptoms

I can not install Windows XP x64, Windows 2003 x64 or Windows Vista x64 version, or any other 64 bit OSes  in the virtual machine. Are there any x64-versions supported?

Resolution

The current versions of Parallels Desktop and Parallels Workstation run on 64-bit architecture computers if a 32-bit primary OS is installed on it, however, the current versions of Parallels Desktop and Parallels Workstation do not support 64-bit operating systems. We are working on adding the 64-bit OSes support in future versions of our products.

Keywords: x64, 64-bit
