When the PC is running, however, you will not be able to access files on your mac disk volume unless you install some PC software that will enable you to read HFS+ formats.

Mac Vs Pc Pros And Cons

Step 1: Create a Boot Camp-based virtual machine in Parallels Desktop.

You can skip this step if you already use Boot Camp in Parallels Desktop. If you don't, start Parallels Desktop and proceed with 'Use Windows from Boot Camp.'

You will now have a Boot Camp that you can run side by side with Mac applications without the need to reboot.

Check that all your required Windows applications work in Parallels Desktop.

Step 2: Import Windows from Boot Camp.

To import Boot Camp use either the Parallels Desktop application menu or the context menu in Control Center. Select the location to put the resulting virtual machine.

If you have enough disk on your Mac, you are in luck. If not, you can use an external disk. You will now have imported Boot Camp to your Control Center. It is no longer using you Boot Camp partition.

Step 3: Remove Boot Camp partition.

Start the Boot Camp Assistant application (available in /Applications/Utilities. You can also start it from Finder, Launchpad, or Spotlight). 3utools install ipcc. Click 'Continue'

You will be asked if you want to restore the disk. There is no way back at this point.

When you're done, you will get Boot Camp partition space back to your Mac applications.

Remove 'My Boot Camp,' as it is no longer required. Make sure you're not removing the imported My Boot Camp.

That's all!
