New Install of Windows 10 Client ARM64 Insider Preview 21354 VHDX silently failing on M1 Big Sur

I've just purchased and installed Parallels Desktop 16 for Mac (Standard Edition; Version 16.5.1 (50696)) on my MacBook Pro (13 inch M1 2020; version 11.2.2 (20D80)). I've downloaded Windows 10 Client ARM64 Insider Preview - Build 21354, and am attempting to install it.

From parallels, I go to File -> New to open the "Install on Mac with Apple M1 Chip" window, then click Continue to open the "Create New", then Continue again (with the default Install Windows selected) to open the "Select Installation Image window, then Continue again (with the vhdx file selected) to open the "I will primarily use Windows for" window. I choose either Productivity or Games only and click Continue to open the "Name and Location" window, I leave the name as Windows 10 and use either the default folder (i.e. /Users/MYNAME/Parallels) or a custom folder with permissions opened up (i.e. /private/var/parallels). I either leave checked or unchecked the "Create alias on Mac desktop" and the "Customize settings before installation" options. I click Create.

In all permutations of these options, the "Creating..." window opens, the progress bar gets to exactly 14%, and then the previous window (i.e. "Name and Location") opens up. No error is given, and I don't see where a log might be available for review.

I'm at a loss for how to proceed from here. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I try to find windows 10 client arm64 insider Preview - build 21354 on the network,
Unfortunately, no download point was found. Could you provide me with the a download address? Thank you
