Windows 10: Windows 10 not working on MAC using parallels

I purchased Windows 10 and run it on a MAC using parallels. I had Windows 7 and never a problem. After installing 10, the windows program won't execute and the screen just flutters between the parallels logo and other messages which flash too quickly for me to see them. The parallels program was upgraded to work with windows 10. Any help would be appreciated.

Parallels is a popular virtualization application for Mac, that lets you run Windows 10 in a window on your Mac.

Its commercial software, which means, you have to purchase a license for it.

There are alternatives such as the free Oracle VirtualBox.

You also have to purchase a license for Windows 10 if you don't have one already.
