Moving pvm file from one mac to another - will not boot

I have copied a Windows 10 pvm-file from an old iMac to a new iMac 5K, and it will not boot on the new iMac.
I have tried to migrate with Migration Assistant - no success
I have tried copy from computer to computer with finder (AFP / SMB network sharing) - no success
I have tried transfer to a ExFat-formatted USB-SSD and then to the iMac - no success
All three have same result, I just see the Windows boot-logo, and nothing happends later (no booting-spinner below the Windows boot-logo) (see attached screenshot)

Anyone have idea how I can successfully transfer this virtual machine from the old iMac to the new iMac without having to reinstall Windows 10 and all software on it?

I copied from ~/Documents/Parallels to the same path on the other mac
I have the same Parallels version one both (12.2.0 - build 41591) and same OS version (MacOS Sierra 10.12.5)
I have verified that the Windows 10 pvm-file still boots up as expected
