Trying to get Xara Designer 10 Premium on my new mac

[Poouster]

no it cannot

xara will lock only those versions you have installed

according to magix site windows 7 is supported [which is not a guarantee that it will install under parallels ]

Oh. OK, thank you. Will it likely work better with windows8?

one problem may be activation - I don't use webdesigner, but I'm pretty sure version 10 predates the current activation system [certainly for designer pro], so you will be limited in the number of installations you can make before having to contact the company to get it reset [and I have no idea of magix' current policy in this regard]; however if that were the case I would expect a message from the program to that effect - if the program is just hanging during install I would be checking the setup of the VM/Windows, but I have never used VM on a mac so have no experience of parallels itself to share

and so I can't say if win 8 would be any better either [apart from, if you do, use win 8.1 not win 8 and microsoft supportwise win 7 is officially dead], sorry
