Windows 10: Windows 10/11, Parallels, MacBook M2 chip

I have been running Windows 10 Home edition on my Intel chip MacBook using Parallels for many years, but it is/was on its last legs. I have not yet disabled Parallels Toolbox on the old Mac I bought a new M2 chip MacBook Air and did a "clean" migration from my old Mac to the new one. only to discover I need Windows 11 to run Parallels on the new Mac. Yes, I should have done more research before I did the installation, but... I installed Windows 11 via the Parallels prompts and discovered that I will have to manually copy files from the old .pvm to run under Windows 11. Ok, I can do that.

MacBook Air M2 running Parallels and Windows 11 ARM

I purchased a license of Windows 11 for Parallels to run on my MacBook Air. It is a brand new 2022 MacBook Air with the M2 chip and I got it with 24GB memory. Works great. I have some issues on the MacOS side and need to reload the MacOS from scratch. I have searched my email for the past week and every where else and cannot seem to find anything except the .iso file I downloaded for Windows 11. Where do I find my license again? I have the order number for the Windows 11 Home and Windows 11 Pro upgrade, I just can't find the licenses.

 

I have MacBook Pro M2 and parallels desktop.. Windows 11 automatically installed and I bought a registration key (windows 11 home) but it does not work.
