Therefore, for compatibility, it seems I need to upgrade to Parallels 15, since more recent versions of Parallels are not compatible with Catalina. I...

    Hello, Is it possible to install and keep active in the same time two virtual machines (one with Windows 10 and the other with Windows 11) in Parallels 17?
