Cannot upgrade to 10 but clean install works fine

I have Win7 Home 32 that is now fully updated. I have 30gb free disk, 2.7g memory. I have the most current Parallels 10. Running the Win10 install, it finally gets to the part where it verifies all the hardware, and continues to complain about WDDM problems.

However, if I create a new VM, 10 installs and runs just fine, but it doesn't see my Win7 so it wants me to provide a product key.

I'd rather find a way to just show it that I do have the 7 license and move on, as now I can run 64 bit wheras my 7 has always been mired in 32 bit mode.

?

 

Hi @Pizzafoundry please follow the suggestion here.

 

That was the process I followed, however, this issue is solved now as Microsoft is allowing users to simply enter their Win7 or 8 activation keys and they work.

Now I have another problem: Following the instructions, I've been unable to get my Win10 VM to see my Mac drives. I have two drives on the Mac and even though I have "share all drives" set, the Win10 machine has no idea what //psf is. The old Win7 is set up the same way and works fine. Any clues here?

 

Hi @Pizzafoundry please try re-install Parallels Tools and check how it goes. Refer to this KB article. For more information, refer to this article.
