Hi guys, hope someone can help me
I plan to switch to Mac, currently using a Dell with Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM installed). I wanted to use Parallels Desktop 8 Switch to Mac Edition to transfer everything from my Dell to the new Mac, but my concern is do I need to reactivate my Windows 7 again after the transfer? Anyone have done that before? Thanks in advance. |

A confirmation from someone who have done it before really helps a lot. I guess i just go buy an retail OEM Windows 7 to save all the trouble.anyway, dun tell microsoft u are installing in bootcamp or vmware   |

QUOTE(icycokes @ Jun 26 2013, 12:14 PM) Am using MBA (Mid 2011 model with 4GB ram) with Parallel 7 with Windows 7 Professional. Just want to know, your MBA disk capacity, 64GB or 128GB? How many GB will Windows & occupied MBS disk space? I am undecided to upgrade to 256GB or 8GB RAMSlightly noticeable lag. I only use Windows 7 for its Internet Explorer since Java runs better in Windows. This post has been edited by mayleou: Jun 29 2013, 11:06 AM |
