To upgrade Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM to a newer version, you need to uninstall the current version and then install a new one. To run the uninstaller, go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program and uninstall the Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM program. With Parallels Desktop, you can switch between Mac and Windows without ever needing to reboot your computer.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community and thanks for giving us an opportunity to assist you. As per the issue description you're unable to install Office 2010 on the computer.
I would like to ask a few questions, for more clarification on the issue:
1. What operating system have you installed on the other partition?
2. If it’s a Windows operating system then which version of Windows operating system have you installed (XP, Vista, Win7 or Win8)?
Office 2010 is designed to install on only Windows operating system.
If you are unable to install Office 2010 on Windows partition then follow the steps listed:
1. Boot to Windows partition.
2. Stop the installation from task manager. i.e., right click on the date and time display on the desktop and click on Start Task Manager. In the in the Applications tab, highlight Office 2010 setup and click on End Process.
3. Once the installation is stopped, remove the disk from the DVD drive and reboot the system.
4. Login back to Windows partition, insert the right disk for Office 2010 and complete the installation.
Note: Ensure there are no multiple versions of Office installed on the system before installing Office 2010. If you have any trial or multiple versions of Office installed on Windows partition uninstall it before installing Office 2010:
·Click on Start< ControlPanel< ProgramsandFeatures.
