There are plenty of other good features in Parallels Workstation but we don't want to take your time anymore. Next things you will probably want to organize are: access to the Internet and communication between your virtual machine and your PC. The latter can be done via shared folders: folders in your primary OS that are also visible to a virtual machine. To set up these two things we recommend that you read:
C:\Program Files\Parallels\Parallels Workstation
". In Linux primary OS the default folder is "/usr/lib/parallels/doc/help
").Accessing the Internet and Creating Shared Folder topics;
Managing Virtual Machines/Networking in a Virtual Machine and Managing Virtual Machines/Using Shared Folders sections.
Enjoy using your virtual machines!
