I received the same email from parallels.

I am on the fence if I should upgrade to windows 8 anyway, to be fair I hardly use windows anymore, I have eliminated all my legacy apps I think.

I just installed the Windows 8 Upgrade and it worked fine. There are instructions on the Parallels site.

The warning from them, i think, is not about parallels deleting files but about how Windows 8 upgrades based upon your current windows version. From some versions files/apps are lost.

I went from 7 ultimate to 8, and no issues.
