Clone a Virtual Machine
If you need an exact copy of a virtual machine, you can clone it. A clone is a separate virtual
machine fully identical to the original one. To make a clone:
1 Start Parallels Desktop.
2 In the Parallels Virtual Machines list select the virtual machine you want to clone (it must be
shut down) and choose File > Clone.
3 Choose where you want to store the clone.
By default, Parallels Desktop stores clones in your Documents > Parallels folder.
4 Click Save to start cloning the virtual machine.
