    Hello,

    I just downloaded the trail version for Parr Desktop for Mac Pro 26.3 version.

    In order to see if we can use our project on the new Mx mac's and Parallels Desktop as our VM solution. For some reason I cannot find the optie to set custom Flags for booting options under 26.x

    Thanks for all your feedback !

    Hello,
    Thank you for reaching out.
    To set custom boot flags, please follow the steps below:
    1. Make sure that the virtual machine is shut down. If it is in a suspended state, please run it and then shut down (Actions > Shut Down).
    2. Click on the Parallels Desktop icon in the Mac menu bar -> select "Control Center".
    3. Click on the cogwheel icon next to your virtual machine.
    4. Go to "Hardware" -> "Boot Order" -> "Advanced Settings" -> and add the required Boot flag

    Let us know if you were following the same steps.

    If yes, please collect a technical report (right-click Parallels icon in Dock > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and send the report's 9-digit ID in a reply.

    Thank you!
