I just paid for the Parallels Desktop 12 Pro subscription and then went to install a new virtual machine, the evaluation of Windows 10 development...

Immediately the download progress says 0 and there's a message under it saying "Network connection lost". I try to refresh it or restart parallels but it just jumps right back to the same thing. Has anyone experienced this? How do I solve it? Thanks!

Hello Justin, please try this article and keep us posted.
 
Thank you, but another representative provided me with the direct download link from Microsoft for the technical/dev evaluation of Win 10, which sidesteps this problem, and I don't have time to troubleshoot it right now, especially since it's not very simple to port map on my router to a computer which has a DHCP-assigned, dynamic IP.

Dear Justin, have this fixed? Please let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help!
 
Thank you for offering, but as I said, I don't have time to follow the recommended instructions and they gave me a workaround by giving me a direct link to download a ready-to-go virtual machine from Microsoft for a technical preview with VS already included.
