If you want to install this onto a newer Mac as mentioned, you would need a SuperDrive USB disc drive (or other compatible USB disc drive) to install said media. Something like 30 minutes! Really quick for a brand new install (I had no copy of Windows installed previous to this).ĭo keep in mind that my Mac has a disc drive, and all modern Retina MacBook Pros (and newer) do *not* have onboard disc drives. This DVD-ROM media of Windows 7 Ultimate was easy to install as a virtual machine on my copy of Parallels 13 on my early 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro running 10.12.6 macOS Sierra (High Sierra is not recommended *yet* for installing Parallels 13).ĭisc installed Windows much faster than USB media of the same software would have installed. Windows 7 Ultimate (did not include Service Pack 1 which further confirmed its being a completely brand new copy)

Installing 64 bit Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate on Parallels 13, onto early 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch running 10.12.6 macOS Sierraġ6 GB RAM (high ram is highly recommended, as this uses a lot of RAM (on a Mac using Parallels 13))
