    Hi...
    Would appreciate some help...
    I got Windows 11 version 22H2.
    How do I update my Windows on Parallels without installing a new Windows?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I had the same problem with one of my Windows VMs.
    I found some group policy commands here in the forum that resolve the issue for me.
    1) in the search box type GPEDIT, on the top open group Administrative Templates, then Windows Components, scroll down to Windows Updates, then Manage updates offered from Windows update
    2) On the right use Select target Feature Update version
    3) On the popup select radio button Enables, then enter Windows 11 (with the space) in the first fielld, and 24H2 in field Target Version, then click Apply
    4) I also enabled Disable safeguards for Feature Updates, but was not sure if I needed it.
    5) close the windows
    6) in the search box enter GPUPDATE /force, when it is done shut down the VM and restart again
    No run system update again and check if you get the 24H2 update

    Unfortunately this did not work for me. When I reach the "Manage Updates", I am only offered one option, which is to Remove Access to Windows Update features. There are no other buttons or option offered. Has anyone else hit this problem? Currently I am on 22H2.
    Thanks in advance, just in case anyone can help.
