Hi nikita52,
If you haven't already followed apples instruction on how to create a Boot Camp Partition please do so https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468
Then follow these instructions for importing Boot Camp into Parallels: http://kb.parallels.com/en/123314

Thank you for your answer, Kat.
But I already have windows 10 installed via boot camp.
When creating a WM, Parallels detect the right partitions (efi and boot camp itself) in configuration -> hardware -> Hard disk 1. The problem is that it doesn't load. I get error mentioned above.

Hi, kat
I did 4 step of http://kb.parallels.com/en/123137 and nothing changed. Step 5 can not be done since i can't boot my WM in any mode.

Hi,
I've the same issue here - and the last suggestion doesn't work, too. The VM starts again with EFI - and looking into the config EFI is still "checked", seems this can not be unchecked. And setting vm.bios.efi=0 like described in http://kb.parallels.com/en/122735 lead to a "Trying to boot from SATA drive 1..."
Any recommendation how to proceed?
Regards
Karsten

I am sooooooo frustrated. I also get the No boot device available. At least I only bought the trial version. Guess this software is useless or at least too hard to get it running for a normal user.
