![]() Also, big note and kind of a gotcha! … once you remove parallel tools, you no longer have access to shared drives on the host … this means if you have downloaded the converter (next step) onto a shared folder, boom, you’re caught and need to find a way to get that installer into the virtual machine to move to the next step. Also when you reboot, the machine will most likely not be as you had it – with a different (basic) screen resolution, etc. You will have to reboot the Virtual Machine after you do this. So inside your virtual machine, use whatever mechanism is available to you (programs add/remove, etc.) to remove these tools. To be able to install the converter tool, you need to uninstall parallel tools. In parallels, to be able to have better screen resolution, connect to the external host, etc., you install ‘ Parallels tools’ – this is your gateway if you like to the host. In the Parallels main manager, select the VM you want to convert, right-click, and select ‘ Show in Finder’. If you didn’t specifically give a location for your parallels storage, there is an easy way to find where the files are located.

I have a spanking new Dell XPS (which has its own minor issues), and a completely over the top new desktop machine. To restore the default settings, click Restore Defaults.First Stage in Leaving Apple Mac and Going Back to Windows…Īfter an 18 month love/hate relationship with my Macbook Pro, I have decided it's time to say goodbye to Apple and go back to my roots in Windows (10). To remove a port forwarding rule, select it in the Port forwarding rules list and click the Remove button. To edit a rule, select it in the Port forwarding rules list, click the Edit button, modify the necessary settings, and click OK to apply them. When the rule is added, use the following IP address combination for external connections to your virtual machine. In the Destination Port field, type the port on the virtual machine to which the data will be transferred. ![]()
