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.

Mac: How to install Windows 10 Preview on Parallels

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.isohave to be the same (64-bit>64-bit or 32-bit>32-bit respectively ). - Mount the
WindowsTechnicalPreview.isoin 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.

Yes, I did. I have had to proceed anyway. It works now. – Sankp – 2014-10-01T19:46:19.263
