You saw a warning message saying Parrot was not compatible with your PC?

Before installing, I would suggest running Parrot (or any other operating system for that matter) “Live” to test out the hardware.

If you have success running it Live and everything works (including internet), you should have no problems installing it.

Were all hardware drivers detected/installed?

What did you do to try to setup the internet? How did it fail? What was the error details while attempting to browse?

If you have more info to share you can find hardware/drivers using the inxi command. Be sure to read the man pages before use:

man inxi

It sounds like you were trying to edit files owned by root, under normal user privileges. Make sure to issue sudo commandname for every command you wish to run as root (such as editing root owned files).
