    * I have Mac Mini M4 with Sequoia 15.2 installed.
    * I have license from Parallels and installed Parallels Desktop 20.
    * I need to have the MacOS running as VM, because I need to do development on MacOS and do Not want to mess my main OS.
    * I can see that Parallels Desktop 20 does support MacOS.
    * However, the GUI of Parallels offers me Only the 15.6.0 (24G84) version to install.
    * Once installed, It prompts me to upgrade my main OS, which I do NOT want to do at all.
    * Upgrading my Main OS would essentially break my existing installed apps, and I do NOT want to do that.
    * I need help from Parallels to understand how to install Previous MacOS version , like exactly 15.2, which I run.

    The prompt is to update the Device Support files needed to run macOS in a virtual machine, not the host macOS itself.
