Here are the Macs that can run Mountain Lion: iMac7,1 or newer- MacBook5,1 or newer- MacBookAir2,1 or newer - MacBookPro3,1 or newer - Macmini3,1 or newer - MacPro3,1 or newer - Xserve3,1 or newer If your Mac isn’t on this list (or has an older model number), then regardless of its age or speed, it won’t run Mountain Lion. > > When updating from SL to Lion I had problems with parallels and had to > upgrade from Parallels desktop 6 to version 7.

I am running Parallels Desktop 8 in Mountain Lion, but Parallels Desktop 7 will run if you have updated to the latest build 7.0.15104.778994 I am going to update to OS X Mountain Lion, what should I do to prepare Parallels Desktop 7 before? 1) Launch Parallels Desktop 7 2) Go to the Parallels Desktop menu and click “Check for updates” 3) This will download the latest build (Parallels Desktop 7.0.15104.778994, released on July 10, 2012) for you. <http://blogs.parallels.com/consumertech/2012/7/26/making-your-copy-of-parallels-desktop-7-mountain-lion-ready.html> > Any obvious downsides of upgrading. As long as you backup and do the preparation before upgrading and after installation completes.
