#UPGRADE PARALLELS DESKTOP FOR MAC#
The immediate result is that Parallels Desktop 16 for Mac now launches up to twice as fast as last year’s impressive version 15, as well as being 20 percent faster at resuming a Windows virtual machine (VM) or when using software which takes advantage of DirectX.įor those who frequently print documents from Windows, there’s more good news. Here you can explain the situation and request your free license to be reset.In its place, Apple incorporated new macOS frameworks for developers to tap into. This option is untested by me, but I remember people saying that there is a possible option to contact Support using the built in Contact Support app The big drawback is all programs and apps are removed and takes a long time to reinstall all your applications if you have many like me. I kept all personal files when asked what I wanted to do during Reset. Here you can tap Reset and follow the prompts.
#UPGRADE PARALLELS DESKTOP UPDATE#
To reset, go to Settings in Windows 10, then Update and Security and finally select Recovery tab. Solutionsįirst solution which I did and worked successfully was to reset Windows 10. I then reboot my machine directly into boot camp thinking it was VM itself causing the error, but even direct boot I saw same error with no option to reactivate. When you tap on this button, Windows Store opens for about 2 seconds, then you see it immediately closes with an error “File system error -1058340854”. Here it said my license is not longer valid (showing last 4 digits exposed, reset masked) and has only a button “Go to Store”. I now jump over to Activation under Update and Security in the Windows 10 Settings screen. Go there and I see a message in the account window that windows is no longer activated… oh no! After things finished loading, I received a Toast Notification from Windows 10 asking me to verify my MS account again. After done (several minutes later) I received login prompt for Windows 10 again and I logged in.

Once logged in, Parallels immediately took over and hid the boot camp instance and began to install their tools. I then finished creating my VM instance and my Boot Camp then launched in Mac OS, woohoo! I then entered my password in Windows. I read it, but did not think that Windows license would break though… so I blindly selected I want to continue and click continue. This dialog is VERY important, I cannot stress enough. Since I want to continue to have an option to use Windows in Boot Camp only for improved performance when needed, I selected the option Use Windows from Boot Camp. We are then presented with the next dialog – After successful install, you create a new Virtual Machine.

Install Parallels Desktop 11 on Mac OS X (current release version).
#UPGRADE PARALLELS DESKTOP LICENSE KEY#
This means anytime you rebuild your machine, you no longer need to track down your license key because as long as you have an internet connection, you will automatically be activated. When you receive this upgrade, you do not receive a license key per se, instead, they log your machine details into your associated MS account.

If you are not familiar (or have been living under a rock for past month), MS released Windows 10 with a bonus offer of anyone with a valid (maybe pirated but that has been going back and forth for sometime) Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 license gets a free upgrade to equal version of Windows 10.
