    Hi everyone.
    I downloaded Windows 10 insider preview .vhdx virtual machine from MS official site.
    When I'm trying to open it in Parallels Desktop 16.3.3 - creation of VM stops immediately and I see screen "Name and location" again.
    Why Parallels desktop can't read .vhdx on Mac M1?

    I don't think 16.3.3 is compatible with Windows 10 ARM on your Mac M1.
    Upgrade to Parallels 16.5, which is compatible.

    My 16.3.3 is technical preview for Macs with M1 chip, so I think it's fully compatible with Win10ARM.
    16.5.0 also doesnt't read .vhdx image with Win10 ARM
    Is there any log files of Parallels Desktop program???
