So I when into my COntrol Center today and clicked create VM, and guess what's NOT there? macOS VM. I keep my Mac and Parallels up to date is there a bug are something I don't know about or do I have a configuration I need to change. When I click create new I normally see MacOS under free systems if I scroll all the way to the right. I do not see it now.

Hi Maria,
system rebooted and Parallels Desktop restarted. Still no hint of an option to install macOS.

I re-installed and re-booted, but no progress.
I think he Admin Guide needs to be updated to take into account macOS Big Sur questions, as we now have to deal with whitelisting System Extensions instead of Kernel Extensions. Not clear that everything applies 1:1.
