Updated to Sierra OS and now can't open Parallels 9

Hello, I think I made a big mistake and updated to Sierra OS without even thinking about the impact on Parallels 9 which is run on Windows XP. It's a long story but I really don't even use my PC platform too often so I didn't think too clearly about it. So now of course I can't access Parallels 9 or any of my PC files. Should I attempt to uninstall Sierra and go back to my previous OS, am I completely screwed after making this mistake in terms of not having access to any of these files? Thanks so much for any thoughts!!

 

Hi JenniferP1,
You can purchase Parallels Desktop 13 and continue using the same virtual machine else you can downgrade macOS X then install Parallels Desktop 9 and use.

 

Thanks so much for your reply! If I purchase Parallels Desktop 13 I will be able to access my former files from Parallels 9? I appreciate it! Jennifer

 

Also, I currently have Windows XP so am guessing that XP and Parallels 13 aren't compatible? Thank you again!

 

No, Parallels Desktop 13 and Windows XP are compatible.
