Install or Import Windows
Once Windows is installed, you can start it up by opening a Windows program (p. 42) or by clicking
the power button
in the Parallels Virtual Machines list.
Important: The first time you start Windows, Parallels Tools are installed to allow seamless operation
between Windows and Mac OS X. Once Parallels Tools are installed, you're prompted to restart
Windows.
If you didn't select Express installation in step 5 above, you must install Parallels Tools manually (p.
196).
When you install Windows, Parallels Desktop creates an administrator account with a blank
password. Once the installation is complete, it is recommended that you change this password.
