    ATTENTION: !! Parallels 16 does not clone VM Windows XP built unter Parallels 15 correctly !!

    AFTER update Parallels from 15 to 16 my VM Windows XP built in Parallels 15 works well under Parallels 16.

    BUT when I cloned it under Parallels 16, the Clone didn't work well, because the Windows-keyboard (german) doesn't work well.
    I installed Parallels Tools new on the Clone, BUT the button ESC does not work, an the button ^ ist chaged to the button <>

    Therefore I downgraded Parallels from 16 to 15, then the keyboad works well.
     
  2. Hello, could you please share with us your keyboard layouts from your VM and Mac side?
    (If you decide to investigate and resolve the issue please share this info from Parallels Desktop 15 and 16)
    We are looking forward to your reply and please sorry for the delay in response.
