Hello:
With Parallels 11 installed on my Mac, I accepted W10 automatic update from Microsoft, which appears to have installed correctly, judging by the graphic user interface. However 'Windows 7' is still showing as the name of the Guest OS. Help, please!

Hi, Parallels Desktop saved the first name of your VM and didn't change it.
It happens because you change the OS, not the "body" of VM, like when you purchase HP laptop and upgrade the OS inside it your laptop will still named HP.
But you may change it by yourself using steps below:
1. Shut your VM down
2. Right click on your VM -> choose Configuration -> General -> and change VM name as Windows 10

Many thanks, Paul. That solves the 'problem'!
