High Sierra Public Beta VM

I tried to install the newly released High Sierra public beta to my macOS 10.12.6 public beta 5 VM, but the installation process ceased with an alert message of something about disk check/repair problem. I am using MacBook Pro Retina 13" early 2013 and Parallels Desktop 11. As to the file system, I unchecked the APFS box.
Is this because I am using Parallels Desktop 11 ? If I upgrade to 12, can I create High Sierra public beta VM ?
 
Thank you for the comment.
Now I understand that not only Parallels Desktop 11 but also 12 do not officially support macOS High Sierra developers' beta and public beta at this moment, and you are currently working on 12.
So you are suggesting that you will not update Parallels Desktop 11 to work with macOS High Sierra, aren't you ?

Hi @koichiy3, as many other software vendors, Parallels Team is working hard on the required tweaks to make sure you can run Parallels Desktop virtual machines on macOS High Sierra, as well as install macOS High Sierra in a virtual machine. For Parallels Desktop 11, we do not have the information yet. Stay tuned.
 
@rkulikov, thank you very much for your advice.
I read the thread which you referred to, and succeeded in creating High Sierra public beta VM.

Slightly different from the procedure mentioned in the thread, I built a High Sierra public beta installer USB, and created a new VM from it, with APFS option unchecked. The version of my Parallels Desktop for Mac is 11.2.3 rather than 12.

The VM is irritatingly slow, and seems to have some functional problems such as that its system preferences do not recognize the trackpad of my MacBook Pro Retina 13". It may be because I am using Parallels 11 instead of 12, but I am not sure about it.

Anyway, I am happy now because I could install High Sierra public beta to the VM.
Thank you again for your advice.

You can use Parallels Desktop 12 trial and check if there is an improvement in performance.
 
Thank you for your advice, but I will wait for a new version of Parallels Desktop which is usually released in late August of each year. If that is the case this year again, it's just a couple of weeks away.
