Just as the title says. Can Parallels host a VM of Big Sur as it stands right now? Like presumably when the public beta comes out could I install it on a new VM? Thanks.

It’s fairly likely there might be some bugs, just as there have been in the past, but in principle it should work.

Awesome. I have a few VMs of previous OS versions. Would love to try it out without a destructive installation.

Got it going but had to manually increase the disk size, re-partition and add 20GB to the system drive.
