    Hi.

    I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I just learned about the need for Windows 11 Arm edition and have a very simple question: In the past, I had all the apps I needed in a regular Windows 10 image running on parallels on an intel mac. I now bought a new M1 mac and would love to be able to use my old disk image because some of the vendors of the applications I have installed are out of business so it would be hard to re-install certain programs on Windows 11 Arm edition. Is there any easy way for me to copy-over or migrate my regular Windows 10 image or is the whole image totally incompatible and so it's impossible to use any previously-installed apps?

    I've the same question. I've a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro, and have a Windows 10 virtual machine with all my regular apps, at some point I'll need to migrate over to a ARM based Mac and assume there is some process from Parallels to take my Windows 10 x86 image and convert or transfer everything to Windows 11 ARM?
