Firstly, if you do not already have Parallels for Mac OS X, you can get it by going to http://www.parallels.com/uk/download/desktop/ and clicking either Download or Try Now. If you click Try Now, you can try Parallels for a short time before buying it. If you have downloaded Parallels, browse to the folder where it has been downloaded and double-click it. Follow the instructions to install it. If you have a CD with Parallels on it, insert it into your Mac's DVD drive and follow the instructions from there.

Once you have installed Parallels Desktop, you will need to install an operating system of choice. Please note you will need a CD and a valid license for the operating system you are choosing to install as this does not come with Parallels. Once you have this, follow the instructions on-screen to install the operating system, and when this is done you can run it from within a window on your Mac OS X Desktop
