Fire up Parallels Desktop. With Parallels Desktop active, go to your Mac upper menu and select File New. In the Parallels Wizard, choose Use Windows from Boot Camp and click Continue.

If the option to Use Windows from Boot Camp isn’t present in Parallels Wizard, try the steps below:

  • Choose Install Windows or another OS from DVD or image file and then click Continue.
  • On the next page, click Locate manually and Continue without a source box.
  • Choose the type of operating system installed in Boot Camp. (For example: Windows 10.)
  • Make sure the Customize settings before installation box is checked. Click Continue.
