    I've graded up from desktop16 to desktop19. Windows10 was on desktop16.
    Now, I am trying install widonws10.pvm to desktop19, but can't make vm of arm base version for windows10.
    Any suggestions please. Thank you.

    Hello,
    Microsoft no longer provides support for Windows 10 Arm. And as a result, Windows 10 is no longer supported in Parallels Desktop on Mac computers with Apple M-series chips. However, Windows 11 should be fully compatible with all applications that Windows 10 is compatible with. Therefore, if an application does not run in Windows 11, it is either likely due to some misconfiguration, or the issue could be due to an application not being compatible with Arm architecture. For more information on Windows 11 compatibility issues, check out KB 128796.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I had to delete my Windows based VM.
    The original copy was Windows 10 Pro, which later on got an update to Windows 11.
    I've tried my Windows 10 key with the Windows 11 installation and I was unable to validate it.
    No I cannot install Windows 10 since it is not longer supported, any ideas how to install Windows 11 and use my Windows 10 key like before?
