I'm trying to install Windows 10 preview on Mac OS X with Parallels, but the ISO file is not recognized by Parallels. The ISO is not defect, I've checked the Hash.

Drag the ISO, it says it doesn't recognise it - Click Proceed anyway...
Mine is plodding away nicely right now - prompted by this question, in fact; though I wasn't going to bother...
This is assuming you have Parallels 10 - can't say how 9 or lower would behave
I had a similar problem installing the WindowsPreview in Parallels 9.
Solution
- Clone an existing Windows 8.1 VM
- The bit-levels of the VM and the downloaded
WindowsTechnicalPreview.iso
have to be the same (64-bit>64-bit or 32-bit>32-bit respectively ). - Mount the
WindowsTechnicalPreview.iso
in the VM and install withsetup.exe
. You will be asked if you want to keep your private files or wipe all.
Windows 8 and 7 should work as well.
