I have a 2018 MacBook Pro running macOS Big Sur 11.6. I updated to Parallels 17.1.0 but still receive the error message: "Your PC doesn't meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11." The "Parallels Desktop for Mac compatibility with Windows 11 - Known Issues" Knowledge Base page says this issue was fixed with the 17.1.0 update. Is there something else I need to do? Thank you.

This is only possible to install Win11 as new virtual machine. Upgrade from Win10 is not possible, therefore one looses the licence, access to software from Win10 and so on. This should be clearly stated at Paralells page instead of untrue statement that 17.1 is full compatible with Win11. I recommend removing misleading info from your webpage.
Of course.Did you remember to manually add the TPM device in the VM hardware configuration?
SOLUTION:
First, convert the boot method of the VM from BIOS to EUFI (GPT)

Then re-run the PC Health Check and reboot.
That fixed the prep for Windows 11 for me.
Of course its important to backup your VM file before attempting this.

I will give it a shot as the support won't answer for almost two weeks.

Thx - did read this on other forums but they also stated that this will likely prevent further updates. And this installation is crucial to me so I don't want to "mess" around.
