Requirements are as follows:
- A Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (Core Solo and Core Duo processors are no longer supported)
- Minimum 2 GB of memory (4 GB of memory is recommended to run Windows 7 in a virtual machine or if your host OS is Lion)
- About 850 MB of disk space on the boot volume (Macintosh HD) for Parallels Desktop installation
- About 15 GB of disk space for each virtual machine
- OS X Yosemite 10.10 or later
- OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 or later
- Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 or later
- Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later

f you aren't sure which OS X is installed on your Mac, click your Apple top left in your screen. F
From the drop down menu click: About This Mac
The version is noted here.
Even if your Mac meets the requirements above, a 2007 Mac is eight years old. Just my two cents, you'd be better off buying an inexpensive PC such as an Acer. Installing Parallels is a daunting task at best. Same goes for VMware.
