Windows 10: Error 0x800f0214 When Installing SDI Drivers on Windows 11 ARM in Parallels Desktop on M2 Mac

Hey everyone,I'm having trouble installing SDI drivers on my Windows 11 ARM setup, which is running on a MacBook with an M2 chip through Parallels Desktop. Every time I try, I get this error message:"Operation could not be completed error 0x800f0214. The specified path does not contain any applicable device INFs."I've double-checked the compatibility of the drivers, but I can't seem to get past this error. Has anyone experienced this before or have any advice on how to fix it?Thanks in advance!Windows11ARM #ParallelsDesktop #MacBookM2 #SDIDrivers #TechSupport #Error0x800f0214

How to activate Windows 11 on Parallels on a new M@ Mac

I am currently running Windows 11 on an Intel Mac using Parallels. I have a digital licence since I installed Windows 10 using activation keys from Windows 8.1.

I now wish to migrate my Parallels licence to my new M2 Mac Mini, and transfer my virtual Windows 11 machine to the Mac Mini as well, however, the M2 Mac won't work with the Interl-based Windows 11. The steps to convert the Intel to the Arm based M2 Mac appear too complicated, so I'm considering reinstalling Windows 11 via Parallels on the M2 Mac Mini, but the instructions for this state that I must activate the new install of Windows 11 using the activation method currently in use. How do I activate a fresh install of Windows 11 using my current digital Licence?

 

How to activate Windows 11 ARM in Parallels virtual machine, Macbook Air M2?

I just bought a license for Microsoft Win Home 11 64-bit All Lng PK Lic Online DwnLd NR (KW9-00664), and was given a 25-character key. However, when I use that key to activate Windows 11 ARM in the Parallels virtual machine on Macbook Air M2, it get an error: The product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one. (0xc004f050).

So my key cannot be used for Windows 11 ARM or is there another reason? Is there any way I can use that activation key for my Windows 11 ARM? (I see the retailer states that the license supports digital keys)

Thanks!
