Really, all my Virtual Machines are gone?

Hi All,
This can't be true, can it?
I bought a Mac Pro and just updated to Para 17... and none of my virtual machines are compatible. Does that mean I have to reinstall all of them again and then copy the data across?
I have 9 Virtual Machines and will have to find ISOs for all of them???
There must be a way to convert them?
PLEASE!

Hi austenL,

I presume you were previously using an Intel-based Mac computer and your new Mac is Silicon based e.g M1,M2
If so, unfortunately, due to fundamental CPU architecture differences, there isn't a way to convert virtual machines created on one CPU architecture to another.

However, you may copy your virtual machine's data between these Macs. For more information, please visit the following KB article https://kb.parallels.com/en/125344
