    I upgraded to Parallels 11 on my iMac and I'm still getting the message
    "Windows 10 will not run on this PC" error due to the issue with Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM)

    I thought Parallels 11 was suppose to be able to handle Windows 10, is there something I need to do in order to upgrade to windows 10?
    I run windows in bootcamp - If that makes a difference.

    Thanks for your help.

    Microsoft didn't include video drivers designed for virtual machines in the approved list. Please use this article to upgrade to Win10:

    NOTE: if you are running Boot Camp, then boot in Boot Camp directly to upgrade. Do not upgrade Boot Camp VMs from the virtual machine
