    WORD When Switching to Mac (via Parallels)


    Hello,

    Using Mac with that Parallels program so I can switch to Windows 10 side from the Mac.
    Seems to work fairly well.

    I have MS Office Home and Student 2016. Box is labeled also: "Mac"
    I have it installed on the Mac side. Would like to use when on the Windows side too.

    I understand that it will work, also on the Windows side, and that there is
    no need to buy another Office for the Windows side.

    Can anyone please explain to me how to get a WORD icon on the Windows side, etc., and use
    it, and create new documents e.g., on the Windows side ?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    :)

    Just to clarify, you receive the error message while trying to install Windows 10, is that right?

    WORD When Switching to Mac (via Parallels)

    Okay Parallels or VM or Mac experts


    I'm going to buy Parallels before it expires, also I've been reading a fair bit about Parallels and backing up, it looks like I'll be able to do what I want in Time Machine you just have to tell it where to look.
    Bootcamp is good, but sometimes I want to do something on the Mac side and I have to reboot, also I've now got TP and Chrome on there as well. It's just good playing around with all these OS without having to reboot.
    Ive still got Bootcamp and now in Parallels, you just tell Parallels where it is and it sets it all up as 8.1 in Parallels.

    The next hard bit is going to be installing Dual drives in the Mac Mini so I can get SSD speed and migrating all this mess over to the SSD.
