    Hi, I am running Parallels on my Intel iMac 2015, and want to move everything over to my new M2 Mini. How do I move the Parallels app over?
    Thanks

    1) Install Parallels on your new Mac
    2) Install Windows 11 by clicking "+" in the control center and choosing the "get from Microsoft" option
    3) Copy the old VM (the .pvm file) to the new Mac. (You won't be able to run this VM.)
    4) Copy data from your old VM to your new VM. https://kb.parallels.com/en/125344
