Hello,
Now that i have a macbook without a disk drive, and need to install windows so i can run it on parallels, i was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way(s) to go about doing this.
I'm going to have to buy a new copy of windows, so i can get it on disk and load it via an older iMac on my network with a functioning disk drive ... if that's the best way to go about it.
Thanks for sharing!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
I assume you mean no optical drive, a Mac so far has always had at least one internal disk. You can buy Windows as an ISO from Microsoft Online Store, and using a Download Manager and a product key, download the ISO to a USB and/or DVD. You can install Windows via Virtualization tools (Parallels, Fusion, VirtualBox) or Bootcamp.
Parallels web site - http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ - has quite a few articles on how to install Windows.
