    Parallels have become far more unstable on Windows 11 to the degree that I have purchased a windows 11 Laptop and am weaning myself away from the Mac.
    However I've read that you can now upgrade from an old windows PC (Windows 10) to Windows 11 without having to have the extra hardware - eg TPM chip.
    Can Parallels introduce a less hardware intensive software choice to run Windows 11. All I am trying to say is that Parallels was less trouble free in the years gone by, than it is today. Both my Mac's have begun to loathe Windows 11 running of Windows 11 in its current form.

    Hello @RegW
    Thank you for your feedback.
    We created an internal ticket and sent you an email via [email protected], please check it and provide us with the requested information.
    Normally, to upgrade a Windows 10 virtual machine to Windows 11, you need to have at least Parallels Desktop 17 and then add the TPM Chip to the Windows 10 virtual machine configuration as mentioned in the article https://kb.parallels.com/en/122702
    Thanks!
