I have a Windows 7 machine, running in parallels. &nbsp;I have to upgrade to Win 10.<br />
<br />
I want to be able to have both versions of Windows running until I make sure that the Windows 10 install has all of the necessary data and programs migrated from Windows 7 to Windows 10.<br />
<br />
Questions are:<br />
Can I have both versions of Windows installed in parallels at the same time<br />
How do I do that<br />
How do I boot to each version of Windows<br />

Please be as specific as possible

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
