    Activating Windows 11 on parallels


    Hi,I have installed windows 11 through parallels on MacBook M1. The installation process was automatic, guided by the parallels and eventually I got Windows 11 Home Edition. It is not activated. When I try to activate, it takes to the Microsoft store but there is no option to purchase the windows 11 key. I would like to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro version. Any ideas?

    :)

    Parallels 11 to Bootcamp Win 10 activation

    Installed a licensed copy of Win 7 pro 64 bit under Parallels 11 at my new MacBook. Upgrade to Win 10 64 bit Pro with no problem with activation. Found out that 1 of my USB Token is not function properly and decided to switch to Bootcamp as both tech at
    Microsoft and Parallels unable to resolve the issue.

    Created a bootable Win 10 USB and proceed with Bootcamp installation (Unable to use Win 7 as the latest MacBook Bootcamp require Win 8 and above). Installed Win 10 without entering product key and after installation it did detect my product key for Win 10
    from previous installation under Parallels 11. My USB Token now function correctly. However, under Bootcamp my Win 10 is not activated even though it detected my product key.

    Called Microsoft and they suggest me to get a new copy of Win 10. That is not helpful at all. Unable to install Win 7 under Bootcamp to re-upgrade again. Is there any other way to resolve this?

    Windows 10 Upgrade within Parallels 11

    i am currently running Parallels 11 with Windows 7 Pro on my Apple Mac 2010 27inch. when trying to upgrade the Windows Virtual Window to Windows 10 I get the error message that I do not have enough Ram. The Apple Mac has 8gb of Memory whereas the upgrade
    requires only 2gb.

    I have no problems with running Parallels 11 with Windows 7 Pro but would like to complete the step and upgrade the Virtual window to Windows 10.

    Any ideas please

    Try and follow Paul Thurrott step by step explanation of installing Windows 10 using Parallel.
