Migrating Parallels with Windows 11 from Intel to Silicon

Hi,
I'm still using Parallels 18 on an Intel-based Mac running with Monterey. The virtual machines are Windows 10 and Mac Sierra.
I expect to upgrade my system to a Mac mini M4 Pro with Sequoia soon, and have to plan an upgrade of Parallels and the virtual machines.
- If I install Parallels 20 now on Intel/Monterey and upgrade my virtual machine to Windows 11, will I be able to transfer it to M4/Sequoia?
- I understand that my Mac virtual machine will be gone, until a future update will restore it, if possible. Is it correct?

Do not upgrade your Mac to Apple Silicon and expect to use your existing VMs. That simply doesn't work, and never will due to the change in processor architecture.
