I'm trying to transfer my windows machine to a virtual machine on my mac. I've tried using Parallels to do so but after trying a few times the data transfer works fine, but the VM always fails to boot into windows 10.

I tried the solution on thier website here : https://kb.parallels.com/en/113342 but that did not work. I've also tried data transfer via external drive and via network, still did not work.

Has anyone had this issue before?

if anyone runs into a similar problem, I was able to resolve this issue using these steps:

1) Shut down the virtual machine using Actions > Stop menu.

2) Press cogwheel button near the virtual machine's name to open its configuration or right-click on virtual machine's name > Configure...

3)Switch to 'Hardware' tab and then select Boot Order from the list of devices.

4) Expand Advanced settings drop-down menu and paste the following system flag:- vm.bios.efi=1

5) Start the virtual machine.

  • How do you open the configuration as it wants me to book the virtual machine , then i get the windows 7 helper tool. But at that time it wants me to shutdown the virtual machine and the helper tool closes – TedG May 02 '19 at 13:03
