I have another bootable drive which has Mavericks and Parallels running on it.

I did this by way of testing Parallels to see if it would fit my purpose which it does, my question is, now being happy with it can I move Parallels as is all working over to my main drive, if this can be done what would the process
be ?

All done and working :)

Just delete parallels and reinstall on to the main drive. Your virtual machines are separate files that you can transfer over and open with parallels in the new location.

So let me get this right, I install Parallels on my main drive, goes without saying, but I want to get this right first time.

Then I copy across the .pvm file from my other drive in Documents/Parallels

Also bring across a folder called Applications (Parallels) from within my home folder on the other drive ?
