Upgrading Win10 Insider Preview in Parallels 11

[SilviaC]

Dear friends,
I've a big problem
My Win10 Insider Preview is not anymore working : the VM starts in Recovery Mode (a component of the operating system has expired).
I knew that I had to upgrade to Win10 "final", but I hadn't the time, up to now.
How could I do? I would have problems in losing all the data (Corel Draw files in particular) in that VM and restart from scratch.
Might you please help me in upgrading this W10 "beta" image to a genuine commercial W10 final one?
Currently my MBP is running Yosemite 10.10.5.

Many thanks!
Silvia

Hi, you may create a new Windows 10 virtual machine and add an existing virtual hard disk (.hdd) as a secondary hard disk to Windows 10 full version as suggested in this article.

I just had the same issue but when I downloaded Windows 10 it asks me to buy a product key. I thought the insider preview was free. Do I now have to pay?

Windows 10 Insider preview was free and it rolled out since the official release of Windows 10. We recommend you to purchase Windows 10 and install it in Parallels Desktop.
