No Bootcamp (w10) statrtup disk in settings

[rr-obin]

hey everyone,
I have succesfully installed win 10 on my imac (27" late 2013, Yosemite 10.10.5).
I´m able to startup W10 by holding option key while starting computer, in W10 I have choosed OSX as a startup disk.
I would like to build a VM W10 (in Parallels 9) from that installation but neither Parallels nor OS X could not see windows 10 partition... in attached picture...
Does anybody know whats wrong?
(I have tried disconnect all external HDD, W10 botcamp is made as a partition on internal HDD

I think this is a known issue for Yosemite running BootCamp.
El Capitan seems ok for this case.

thx,
i tried to find if it is "known issue" but with no luck ;-)
is there any other option to have W10 bootcamp partiton and in OS X (Yosemite) make VM (paralles, fusion,..??) from that W10 partition??

Uh, I may probably suggest you try it out by putting a trial version of VMware fusion on your Mac to see what would happen. You can try parallel as well.

If you do get Parallels to see your Bootcamp partition you'll still need a separate license for your Windows 10 VM.
Windows 10 isn't like 7 or 8 and it will deactivate every time you switch between the two unless they each have their own license.

Windows 10 license is not the main concern I think. This user has difficulty finding the boot camp partition under Mac OS X.

OP can show the windows partition in disk utility ?

Op says it is not possible to show the Windows partition in disk utility.

I´ve done what I wanted...
There is still not able to chose bootcamp partition WIN10 as a sturtup disk in preferences settings.
But I was able to make Parallels to see BootcampWin10 partition and make VM from that partition!!!
And it was big surprise how much integrated could be another OS (in coherence mode).
So finally, i have two bootable systems - OSX and WIN10 - and the same win10 systen running under Parallels like VM..
Thanks for support.
