    Thank you for your answer, Kat.
    But I already have windows 10 installed via boot camp.
    When creating a WM, Parallels detect the right partitions (efi and boot camp itself) in configuration -> hardware -> Hard disk 1. The problem is that it doesn't load. I get error mentioned above.

    hi mikita53,
    Please see if you can connect your boot camp from the vm configuration area.

    Hi nikita52,
    Please uncheck EFI>Click on OK, then make sure you lock for no further changes. Let me know if this corrects the issue.

    Hi,
    I've the same issue here - and the last suggestion doesn't work, too. The VM starts again with EFI - and looking into the config EFI is still "checked", seems this can not be unchecked. And setting vm.bios.efi=0 like described in http://kb.parallels.com/en/122735 lead to a "Trying to boot from SATA drive 1..."
    Any recommendation how to proceed?
    Regards
    Karsten

    I am sooooooo frustrated. I also get the No boot device available. At least I only bought the trial version. Guess this software is useless or at least too hard to get it running for a normal user.
