    Maybe someone can help me.

    My system:
    Macbook Pro Retina 15 (early 2013)
    Catalina Version 10.15.7

    I installed Parallels Version 18.3.3 (5627)
    Then I installed Windows 11.
    The installation ran completely, Windows started, Edge started, and I accepted the Windows license key. I verified that Windows was activated, but suddenly the machine shut down.

    The Mac restarted automatically, and the same thing happened again.
    Parallels runs, loads Windows, and boom... the Mac shuts down.

    On the third try, it gave me the option to repair Windows because it hadn't shut down properly. After the process, Windows loaded, it reached the startup mask, my username appeared, and the Mac shut down again.

    My thought was that maybe Windows 11 was "too much" (the Mac isn't the newest...), so I removed the Windows 11 Virtual Machine and installed Windows 10.

    Everything went well again, installation, I accepted the Windows terms in Edge, checked that Windows was activated, and BOOM... it shut down again.

    Can someone tell me what the error is?
    Or what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance for your help.
