    Sorry if this has already been asked but trying to find anything in these forums is very challenging. I did look. I had to reinstall and reactivate Parallels after a hard drive and logic board replacement. I had Windows 11 working previously. Now it is failing both the TPM test and the Secure Boot test. I have the latest Parallels update which you "claim" supports Windows 11. What's the deal here?

    It appears that I needed to install Windows 11 from scratch, aka "clean install" ... I believe the Parallels statements about TPM and Secure Boot being enabled by default are misleading and the information about updating to Windows 11 is incomplete. Perhaps I missed something but this wasted a good deal of time, on top of the activation servers not working last night, so I had to postpone my reinstallation until today. I'm more than disappointed with these situations, and I waited 12 hours for a response from tech support on FB Messenger and still have nothing. Don't expect a good survey if you send one.
