    Hello,

    I have an expired Desktop11 license. I don't want to continue using it on my old MacBookPro Mid2012.
    However, I would like to continue using these images from Desktop11 on my new MBP M3 MacOS 14.1.
    Can these old images be used for this / are they compatible with the current upgrade version?

    An Intel-based virtual machine (VM) cannot be started on a new Mac with Apple M-Series chips because it is not compatible with Mac computers equipped with the Apple M-Series chip. If you are switching from a Mac with an Intel processor to a Mac with Apple silicon or the other way around, you can copy personal data between Intel-based and ARM-based virtual machines.

    Parallels 16 is the first version of Parallel to support Apple silicon Macs and old intel VMs cannot be used on Apple silicon Macs.
