vmware

So we all know what happened to VMware Fusion. I was finally at my wits' end and decided to start a Parallels trial because USB device passthrough stopped working in guests. However, even after the installation of the guest additions, I still get the infamous "Configuring <VM name>. Preparing...

I've got the latest Parallels installed on an Intel Macbook. I've uninstalled the VMware Tools from the source VMware VM. When I try to open the VM in Parallels, nothing happens after I select the vm to open. It is about a 900G image. Is this something that will take time and if so, how...

Hi all, I am using Parallel desktop 17 on Catalina. I want to convert a VMWare Windows 10 virtual machine (.vmx) to Parallel desktop vm. After conversion is finished, when VM is booted up for configuration, it gives "Your PC Ran into a Problem" blue screen and then it tries to repair but still...

Usually virtualization within virtualization is not allowed. I wanted to use my own MacBook as my working computer in office. But in my Parallel trial I cannot run VMware Workstation Player in my Parallel for Mac. Is there any workaround? Or some license grade allows me to do so? Thanks all

I have a Fusion based Windows 10 (Intel) VM that works well. Would I be able to import this VM and run on Parallels? Would this work if Parallels is installed on a M2 MBP? While I am clear that an Intel VM will not run at all on an ARM based MBP, was not clear if Parallels would allow this. If...

After having a lot of difficulty using Docker with Parallels (which was finally, if somewhat mysteriously, resolved), I had set up Windows 11 on VMWare instead. I did a lot of software installation and system customization using VMWare Fusion I'd rather not repeat, so I'd like to migrate that...

Hi there! I'm trying to run a VM in Vmware inside a guest macOS installed with Parallels. VM Ware is prompting with an error every time I try to run it, saying that this host does not support Intel VT-x. There's a pretty easy solution if the guest system is a Windows OS, however, the option...

In converting from VMware to Parallels my Windows system won't convert - VMware says the virtual HD is nVME - Parallels does not know about that. The only thing I have been able to do is reinstall Vware and configure the HD to SATA. Unfortunately VMware seems to like nVME - its the default for...

Hi, Either my brain has melted or I'm looking for something that doesn't exist. :) I've got 2 ESXi hosts managed by VMWare vCenter 6.7 and I have Parallels RAS 16.5 up and running. I've got a VDI template on one of the hosts and it's published and working fine. Of course over the last couple...

Hi, I'm trying to import an ova file in Parallels. Seeking in the forum I found 2 ways to do it but none of them works for me. First one with: https://kb.parallels.com/122835 (is with ovftool ) Second one: https://www.parallels.com/blogs/convert-virtualbox-to-parallels-desktop/ When import the...

Hello everybody, I'm a long time VMware user trying to come into the Parallels world with Parallels Desktop Pro for Mac. I'm very happy to see that there is an option to convert a VMware virtual machine into a Parallels one, but when I do so, Windows tells me that my copy is invalid, and that I...

Hello all i was using a VMware Fusion 10 (windows 10 VM) then i try to convert it to Parallels but it didn't work it says "This VMware Fusion virtual machine cannot be converted to the Parallels format because it is running" i shutdown the VM probably and i done it several time but i...

Is there a way to export a VM created in Parallels to a format supported by VirtualBox or VMware (e.g. Open Virtualization Format)? I have a linux VM that I'd like to run on different laptops, do I have to buy an additional Parallels license for each laptop? Is there any alternative? Cheers
