Windows 10 is coming soon. And it’s not just the jump from Windows 8 to Windows 10 that gets people excited. It’s more than that. Windows 10 finally captures what Windows is good for. Hardcore, no barrel hold, yield. Unlike Windows 8, there are a lot of things that get in the way.
Windows 10 is about fixing old mistakes. The Start menu is back, with Cortana, modern apps running in their own window on the desktop, now by default. Windows 10 even supports virtual desktops, one of my most used features on Mac.
If like me, you’re excited about Windows 10, you can try and install the Technical Preview right now. It is available as a free ISO file. Since this is a technical preview, this is a very early build. This is pre-beta software. Don’t expect it to be your daily operating system.
Below you will find instructions for installing Windows 10 Technical Preview on a Mac using Parallels 10.
Why use Parallels?
Parallels 10 is the latest version of the virtual machine installer. It is easily the best option for this kind of thing. One of the reasons why I like it is because it allows you to run Windows apps in their own windows alongside Mac apps. So you can just open an Office application and not have to deal with the rest of Windows. Parallels is also stable and fast. Well worth the asking price of $79.99.
But wait: If you’re not sure if you want to, use the 14-day trial.
Parallel setup 10
Step 1: Open the downloaded .dmg file and click the button Setting button.
Step 2: Accept the terms and then the wizard will ask you to sign up for an account or sign in. There is no other way, you will have to create an account.
Step 3: On the next screen, click get trial version if you want to use the trial version or enter the activation key if you have purchased the app.
Install Windows 10 on Parallels 10
Now that your copy of Parallels is working, it’s time to install Windows 10 on it.
To download Windows 10, you need to sign up for their Insider program. Then go to this page, choose your language and download the 32 or 64 bit version of Windows 10 as an ISO file.
Step 1: From the main screen of the application, select Install Windows or another operating system from a DVD or image file and click Continue.
Step 2: The application will scan the image files on your hard drive. Select the Windows 10 ISO file from this list. If the app can’t find it automatically, you can browse for it yourself by clicking manual positioning button.
Step 3: Press Continue for the next two menus, then select the folder where you want to install the virtual machine. Click configure if you want to change any settings.
Windows 10 Setup
The Windows 10 installation wizard will now start in Parallels and you will be asked if you want to install Windows 10 or Windows 10 Pro. Then wait for the wizard to complete.
Then Parallels will restart the virtual machine (not your Mac) several times and install some Windows related tools to make working on the Windows virtual machine easier.
