Attempting to install on widows 10 Evaluation version. Running Parallels. Is it possible?
So, you want to install a beta version of Windows on a virtual machine on Mac in order to run an outdated version of Rhino? I guess you’ll have to try it to find out if it will work. There’s no tech support for Rhino installs under Parallels anyway regardless of version, so you’re on your own here…

Yeah Trying to do a quick workaround project on a new machine. Have not upgraded to 5 yet

This is actually the best post I have read in a while. On a related note, where can I get Rhino on floppy disk?
Crawl back into your moms basement if you don’t want to helpful.
OK, good luck with that - let us know if it works out of curiosity. If it’s a new machine, I would recommend downloading the V5 eval version - good for 90 days - I think you’ll have much better luck with it running on Windows 10…

OK, I forgot I am on the internet. I would not recommend doing anything important with a beta OS and an old version of software, and run them in an emulation mode. If this were for a real project, I’d be afraid it would crash and wipe out all of my work. I have never heard of this approach, and hence, my silly reply.
This is a pretty universal rule among geeks I know; never update hardware or software until after the deadline has passed.
The better strategy would be to use an old PC or borrow one. Install Rhino 5 (or the free 90-day trial) to do your work.
Of course, if this is a research project and the topic is doing exactly what you described, then never mind.
(For future reference, my parents do not have a basement in their home. But, I get the point.

Rhino 5 runs here in Parallels on Windows 10. Though you would want more HorsePower than this …
I would recommend just getting the OSX Rhino or a dedicated Windows box.
