When finished, click Create. The assistant will create a blank virtual machine.
7 In the Boot Options section of the Prepare to Install Operating System window, you can
change the OS installation files source if you want.
When finished, click Start. New Virtual Machine Assistant will install the guest operating
system in your new virtual machine. When the installation is complete, install Parallels
Tools if they are available for the guest OS you just installed.
Note: If your copy of Parallels Desktop is not activated, you will be prompted to activate it
when you click Start. For more information about the activation, see Activating Parallels
Desktop (p. 20).
The newly created virtual machine will be accessible through Parallels Virtual Machine List (p.
36) that allows you to easily manage your virtual machines.
