How to install Windows 10 as another VM ?, currently running Windows 11

[DavidF59]

Hi
I am currently running Windows 11 on my Parallels system, but to run a certain app i need to use Windows 10. I have bought Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store as a digital download and cannot seem to work out how to install it to my Parallels. I am not overly computer literate and was hoping someone could explain the process to me. Do i need to download Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store to a USB and then somehow install it to Parallels or can i download my Windows 10 purchase straight to Parallels ? I am running an M1 chip.
thanks
dave

Hello, We would like to inform you that Microsoft no longer provides support for Windows 10 ARM. As a result, Windows 10 is no longer supported in Parallels Desktop on Mac computers with the Apple M1 Chip. Please follow this link: https://kb.parallels.com/en/124223 to learn more about the supported Guest OS on the M1 Mac. Thanks.

Hello, we would like to inform you that Windows 10 is not supported on M1 Mac. Only ARM-based guest OS is supported on M1 Mac.

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (Windows 10 version 1709)

1. Open Hyper-V Quick Create from the start menu.
2. Select an operating system or choose your own by using a local installation source. If you want to use your own image to create the virtual machine, select Local Installation Source.
3. Select "Create Virtual Machine"

Hope This Works,
Peter
