    Hello,
    i solved the problem. It looks like Windows 11 24h2 is not working which will be downloaded from parallels.
    I downloaded Windows 11 23h2 and the installation works fine. Just googele windows 11 23h2 arm download and find a secure source to download it and choose the iso file for installation instead of the suggested file. :)

    I second this; also having this same issue on Parallels 18, fresh install will immediately boot into an [Inaccessible Boot Device] blue screen. Tried everything, it just loops in circles.

    Do you have a particular website you would recommend? The only one I found fails the download no matter what.

    If i remember correctly, this was caused by NVMe being broken since 24H2. When creating a new VM, choose to customize settings and change the hard drive interface from NVMe to SATA. Downgrading to 23H2 is not really useful because the issue will reappear as soon as Windows updates itself.

    so the only way to use parallel 17 normally is to download this old win 11 23 h2 through this ultra slow archive Link
    or upgrade to parallel 20 ?
    lol the after sales service of parallel are trash
    the least they can do is include a link to download old windows or automatically download the old windows , not letting us installing new ver windows not compatible wasting our time searching around eventually leading us to here ?
