Supported Guest Operating Systems for Import

A guest operating system is the system that runs in a virtual machine. Fusion supports importing Parallels virtual machines with certain operating systems.

Fusion supports importing the following operating systems:

• Microsoft Windows 10
• Microsoft Windows 8
• Microsoft Windows 7
• Microsoft Windows Vista
• Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3
• Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2

Virtual machines must be powered off before you import them.

If your copy of Windows was not licensed with a volume-license key, you might need to reactivate it when it starts inside Fusion.
