Parallels For Mac How To Exit Fill Screen

We have a Macbook Air for home use, but I prefer to work in Windows (the same as my work environment). We heard about Parallels, so have taken the following steps, but are encountering problems:

we upgraded the Mac OS to Yosemite
we purchased Parallels 10
we purchased Windows 8.1 Pro Student

We have installed Parallels, and now have this on the desktop. We downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro Student and this is sitting in downloads on the Mac. When we open Parallels we get 'Parallels Wizard, Virtual Machine' which asks us to install from a device or migrate from another PC. (note - We don't want to replicate another PC, just want to run Windows on the Mac). When we the try to open the download for Windows 8.1 Pro Student we get the following message:

You can’t open the application “OSGS14-WindowsSetupBox-32bitand64bit-English-4141408-3.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.

Does anyone please have any ideas as to the next steps so that we can start using Parallels on the Mac?? Note, 8.1 Pro Student is the only Windows program we have downloaded onto the Mac - is it just an upgrade, and not a base system and that's why it doesn't work??

Thanks very much
