Migration stops without any error

[SamuelV1]

Hi,
Subscribed to Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition but very surprised to see that what is advertised as a breeze is in fact a nightmare !
It is impossible for me to migrate an existing Windows 10 installation nor via network, nor via an external drive. In both cases, the migration starts and stops without any error but the process never finishes.

Read some docs in and there French/English... WITHOUT FINDING A SOLUTION <===

Hi Samuel,
Could you please refer to this article before initiating to migrate to a Parallels Desktop virtual machine.

Hi Paul,
Thanks a lot for having paid attention to my request and pointed me in the right direction. Thanks for your reply too.
But after having spent 4H30 copying from Windows to an external drive, I have got an error... And of course all the content of the destination drive was cleared (very funny).
