Move vm from one machine to another (Parallels 12)

How do you move a pvm file from one mac to another under Parallels 12? The .pvm file doesn't seem to be the same format as previous versions. I can't just copy the file to the new mac and run it.

Both macs are running on Sierra.

 

Hello @bryanlyle
Please locate the virtual machine and follow to move the PVM file from one Mac to an another Mac.

 

But in Parallels 12, the .pvm is a fraction of the size it should be. So moving the file won't allow it to launch on the other machine.

 

Hello bryanlyle,
Could you please let us know if you are running a Bootcamp based Windows or just a regular Windows installed directly with Parallels Desktop ? Thanks

 

Regular windows installed directly with Parallels Desktop. Windows 10. Mac OS X Sierra.

 

Hi bryanlyle,
Check your Mac if you have any other pvm files saved on your Mac. Share us the size of those pvm files.
