    So, I have:
    -Mac mini (2018) running Catalina (10.15.4)
    -Parallels Desktop for Mac (version 1.5.0 (20116))
    - Windows 10 Home successfully installed on a Bootcamp partition on the internal Mac-mini drive (disk0s3)
    I'm unable to install the windows 10 bootcamp partition on Parallel. The bootcamp partition does not show on the installation assistant. When I try a manual install following (https://kb.parallels.com/112941), My HD (disk0) does not show up as a source.

    What can I do?
     
  2. Hi michaelz8. Parallels Desktop for Mac App Store Edition does not support creating a VM using the BootCamp partition. Please refer this article for more information.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Ok, understood. the differences between the versions were not obvious at all on your website. I bought the App Store edition to simplify the billing. Is there anyway for me to "upgrade" to Parallel standard edition?

    I actually found the answer on the upgrades options. For whoever is interested it is possible to upgrade from the App Store edition to the full feature Parallels. See here (https://kb.parallels.com/123783)
