if you want win10. you have to download the ISO.
with virtualbox, you find it on microsoft site, download it and set it up
with parallels, you just say ‘I want win 10’ and you get it. They’ve automated the process. Parallels does the download -or- you could use the iso that you already found.
with virtual box, it doesn’t support mac VM’s as well. you have to go find the ISO for the installer.
in parallels, you create an OSX virtual machine and it pulls everything from the installer partition — its smoother.
I”m not afraid of ISO’s. I have a bunch of them because I’ve looked and saved.
Parallels makes setup of a current VM easier, thats all. click a button and go have a coffee or tea
