You love Parallels.
And you’re curious about Windows 8.
Just use some caution before putting that chocolate/peanut butter combination together…
Per the Apple Core, virtualization top dog Parallels has issued a warning advising users to exercise caution before upgrading existing virtual machines to Windows 8. The company has stated that the virtual machine could be damaged, thereby resulting in data loss.
The company has stated that it’s presently testing the Windows 8 upgrade and also points out that a new virtual machine should work just fine.
The only caveat is to use the very latest build of Parallels Desktop 8 to create this new virtual machine.
If you’ve tried the Windows 8 upgrade with your Parallels virtual machine, please let us know how it went in the comments section.
