    Hi,
    I just completely set up a fresh version of MacOS and Bootcamp on my iMac.
    Now I wanted to start Bootcamp in Parallels but it keeps telling me that it couldn't find an operating system.
    Bootcamp itself boots just fine if I boot it nateively. Any suggestions?
    I already tried removing the Bootcamp VM and recreating it.

    Greetings

    Hi,

    I am using macOS 10.13.1 and Parallels Version 13.2.0 (43213)
    I installed a fresh Windows 10 from an iso I downloaded on the 4.12.2017 from the microsoft website.

    Please uninstall Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac as referred to this article and then restart your Mac.Now, install Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac using this link http://www.parallels.com/directdownload/pd13 and see if this works. If still the issue persists, please create an empty and map the existing hard disk as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/121578 and check if this helps. Thanks!

    Hi,
    I tried removing Parallels, reboot and reinstall it. Didn't help. I still get the EFI shell.
    Then I tried creating the Bootcamp VM manually (I actually think you linked the wrong article?) by selecting the hard drive partition manually but the partition is not shown as an option.
