    Hi,
    Bootcamp is working fine on my MBP 2014 Retina (Intel Iris Graphics, 1TB SSD with windows having 50% of the disk).
    Creating a new VM with Parallels from that partition gives an unworkable Windows VM.
    Mouse doesn't work, display scaling doesn't work, lots of hardware including the network adapter are not recognised.
    I managed to reinstall Parallels tools by doing CMD + R, typing explorer.exe and with the keys navigating to the Parallel Tools disc. Unfortunately, after a reboot of the VM, it still does not work. See the screenshot in attachment for all the missing hardware support.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Wim

    I gave up and bought VMWare Fusion. Works flawlessly.

    Hi Wimc,
    We suggest you to create an empty Virtual Machine and connect Windows HDD of existing Virtual Machine as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/121578 to check how it works.
    If same issue occurs, please submit a Problem Report ID http://kb.parallels.com/9058 and provide us the ID number here. We'll check it for you.

    Hi Manoj,
    Unfortunately my trial expired so I can't really help. Is there a way for a second trial?
    KR,
