Hi Jan,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused, I will be glad to assist you with this.

Just to clarify, you receive the error message while trying to install Windows 10, is that right?

I would suggest you to try the steps given in Parallel's Support page and check if it helps.

Windows 10 on MAC via parallel installation; different configuration than Windows 10

The Parallels Desktop program you are using creates a virtual environment (computer) that Windows is then installed on. The Windows system configuration that you are seeing represents the virtual hardware created by the Parallels Desktop software.
