    I have tried numerous time to install windows 10 on the updated Parallels and I continue to get this:

    Boot Failed: EFI Hard Drive
    Boot Failed: EFI DVD/CDROM
    PXE.DHCP (Timeout 60s)

    Can anybody help me out with this?

    Hi JeffY2,
    We would like to know if you are using Windows 10 USB or a disk image (ISO). If it is an ISO, are you using Windows 10 Anniversary Update ISO or Windows 10 Creators Update ISO?

    Please follow the below steps and keep us posted:
    1. Follow the steps as suggested in article
    2. If the issue still persists, install Windows 10 without an activation key and by using Express Installation unchecked.
    3. After the Windows 10 installation is complete, go to Settings --> Update and security --> Activation, and click: Change product key and activate Windows 10.
    Or download Windows 10 from Microsoft website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download and install it.
