With Parallels Desktop for Mac you can use Windows that you set up using VMware Fusion, Microsoft Virtual PC, and Virtualbox.

Important:

• Please make sure you deleted previous tools from your virtual machine (old Parallels Tools or VMware tools, etc.)

• Fully Shut down your virtual machine - do not suspend the virtual machine and do not put it in hibernate mode.

  1. Open Parallels Desktop (in the Applications folder) and choose File > Open.

  2. Select the Windows data file you want to import, then click Open.

     • Parallels Desktop data files end with .pvm.
     • VMware files end with .vm (.vmx for older versions).
     • Virtual PC files end with .vmc.
     • VirtualBox files end with .xml or .vbox.

     You can also simply drag a Parallels .pvm file to the Parallels Virtual Machines list to add it to Parallels Desktop.

  3. Start Windows.
  4. Choose Actions > Install Parallels Tools and follow the onscreen instructions.
