    After trying for hours to use parallels transport agent to move my Windows 8.1 machine into my iMac running parallels desktop 10 latest version, I and after 30 minutes to indicate that would take 28 hours to move only 370gb of data, I searched the forums to find that there's a big bug in the latest release and the recommendation was to use the previous version (now that is what I called improvement), so I got version 9 and let it run on a local hard drive as using network for now specific reason always drop the connection. After running since yesterday for 12 hours reaching 360GB (I was monitoring file size) the thing just failed, ahahaha. Man clearly you should invest a little bit more in the product and less in the marketing to make everyone think this is a great product, well marketing is working as I got me to buy this even thought I will have to use it not for the purpose I bought for that was to move my machine and retire my PC. Keep up the good work.

    Hello Marcus,

    Our developers are aware of the issue and are working on it.

    In the meanwhile, please try to migrate through an External Storage Device : http://kb.parallels.com/115007
    - Download Parallels Transporter Agent from : http://www.parallels.com/download/pta9-win (previous version)
    *Note* : It is not required to install Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac application in your Mac, you can have the version 10 application installed.
    - Initiate the Migration from the PC through an External Storage Device.

    That should help you with the migration successfully.
