    Hello Miwibu, are you trying to move Parallels data to a new Virtual machine?

    Hello

    yes I bought a mac studio and am trying to move the data from the mac pro vm to the mac studio vm. Both running pm 17 latest build, studio with win 11, old pro win 10. On both the option "show hard disk contents" does not exist, though I stuck. Any help. On the old mac I'm running pm as a test version, which will stop may 10

    Hello Miwibu, Please follow the steps mentioned below to transfer the data from Old virtual machine to new virtual machine.

    1. Shutdown Windows.
    2. Open Finder and go to your VM location (see the pic above).
    3. Copy the. pvm file and paste it to the new location (such as your external drive).
    4. Double-click on the. pvm file in the new location to re-register your VM.
