Transferring Windows From Boot Camp Partition To a New Mac

If you’re reading this blog, chances are you are thinking to buy a new Mac (or already got one, yay!). Apple made it super easy to migrate all your files, applications and settings to the new machines with Migration Assistant. But what if you have a Boot Camp partition on your old Mac with all the Windows programs and files you need? Bad news – it won’t be migrated with Migration Assistant. But there is an easy way out! All you need to do is to import your Boot Camp partition into Parallels Desktop virtual machine and copy it to the new Mac. Yes, it’s that easy! The suggested method will not create a new Boot Camp partition, however you will have access to your old install from within a virtual machine.

Let me walk you through this three step process.

1. Create a virtual machine based on your Boot Camp partition

Once you have installed Parallels Desktop on your old Mac, you need to create a new virtual machine based on Boot Camp:

  • Start Parallels Desktop and choose File > New from the menu.
  • Click Use Windows from Boot Camp, and follow the onscreen instructions complete the setup.
  • Start your Virtual Machine and let Parallels Tools install for the first time, followed by Windows restart.

2. Import your Boot Camp to the virtual machine

Now you need to physically import Windows into the actual virtual machine.

To do that, follow the steps below:

  • Access Parallels Desktop Control Center.
  • Right Click on your VM and choose Import Boot Camp.
  • Sit back and relax! Parallels Desktop will notify you once the job is done.
