I have on order a new MacBook Pro - waiting for my first "Mac".
My question pertains to the proper sequence to install Win 8.1 and Parallels 9.
Do I install Win 8.1 using BootCamp and then install Parallels?
Or do I install Win 8.1 from within Parallels without using BootCamp?
Relatedly, is the 64-bit version of Windows (7 & 8/8.1) the only compatible version within OS X using Parallels 9?
Also, what is the ideal partition size to reserve for Windows? (1TB SSD)
