Noob Monteray guest on M1

[FedericoB2]

I'm new to parallels and now trying to install Monteray on a Macbook pro with the M1 silicon.
I installed Parallels 1.7.3 (trial for now) and in the "create new" window, in "free systems" there is no option for any macos.
I can see Windows 11 in the top (which I installed and works fine) and 4 linux flavours but no macos. No luck trying horizontal scrolling.

so I tried https://kb.parallels.com/125561 "manual installation", since again the "download macos" is just not there.
I downloaded the UniversalMac_12.4_21F79_Restore.ipsw
and then used
/Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_macvm_create ~/Downloads/UniversalMac_12.4_21F79_Restore.ipsw ~/Parallels/macOS.macvm --disksize 80000000000

but the command silently exists with error code 1 (echo $?).

any clues what I may be doing worng?

many thanks in advance
