    Just installed Parallels 11 and then upgraded from Win7 to Win 10. It seems to go normally. Tried to restart windows and go the "administrator welcome" screen. Clicked on "sign in". The image magnified, a few moments of the balls going around in a circle, and then the screen goes black. It goes no further. I can bring up the task manager but that is about it. It never makes it to a home or start screen.

    Help?
     
  2. @RichardB5 please add a bit more Ram to your VM

    Is 4 not sufficient? I will bump it up and give it a try. Have to be later. I am away from the machine now. Thanks for the suggestion. I will let you know if it works.

    Bumped ram to 6. Did not help and parallels complained about the bump saying it would decrease efficiency of both Windows and OS X. I was able to force a restart of explorer.exe which allowed parallels tools to be installed which took care of most everything. As best as I can tell, win 10 is now working with parallels 11. It is a bit slow - not sure if that will be improved over time.
