I thought so. Also, I have no use for anything on my Windows VM and want to blow it away. What sequence so you suggest?<br />
<br />
I am thinking:<br />
1) Upgrade Parallels to version 14<br />
2) See if Parallels lets me delete the old VM (is there such a feature? Or, do I simply delete the file called Windows 7 (1).pvm?<br />
3) Download Windows 10 Pro to my Mac Desktop<br />
4) create the Windows VM w/ Parallels<br />
5) Install Windows 10 from the new VM<br />
<br />
Is the correct order?

Need an upgrade to Windows 10<br />
<br />
I have Windows 7 running on Parallels, but decided that the time has come to upgrade to Windows 10. <br />
<br />
Is windows 10 Professional the right choice for me? I am a developer and need Windows 10 so that I can dig into Azure development.<br />
<br />
Is Windows 10 the right choice?<br />
<br />
Can I get an update somewhere? The prices seem to be pretty low, compared to the prices of years ago. So, I wonder if they even bother offering discounts any longer.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Need an upgrade to Windows 10

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
