so i spent almost 200 dollars to buy Parallels and a key to Win 7. It is up and running and is not satisfactory for the one banking program that runs only on windows. It works fine, but i just dont like the ui And how slow and finicky it is.
anyway, i want to delete the vm and use that key in bootcamp in my MacMini.
Can i do this without buying another key? Any advice is appreciated.

Hello all, sorry for the short question above, and I did find out about my key. I am running a new MacMini with OS X 10.10.3
I can follow the instructions as to how to delete or remove Parallels 10 from my system and I guess that will get rid of windows as well so I can re-use my key. it is valid for 1 install.
But, is that the best way to uninstall Windows 7 from my Mac?
Will uninstalling Parallels do the trick? or
Should I just wipe the Mac and start over? There isn't much on this new machine other than several email accounts. no pix or music that I don't have somewhere else.
Best way?
TIA
First delete the Windows VM from Parallels and tell Parallels to delete the Virtual Disk. The Parallels Support website has KB articles for it. If you do not want Parallels, now you can uninstall it.
You can re-use the same Product Key and re-activate Windows online. If there are issues with Windows Activation, call the Activation number and it can be transferred to the Bootcamp Installation, if necessary.
Perfect. this is what I was looking for. Thanks!
If you run into issues, please post back on this thread.
I have it bookmarked and will However it may be a few weeks before i try as there are health issues with older family members keeping me and the wife pretty busy.
Thanks for you help and I will when I have the opportunity.
Please take care of you family. Come back when you can.
