Hi Nicholas John Stevens,
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
Thank you for posting your inquiry about Windows activation issues in a Parallel Desktop environment in this community.
Thank you for your support of Windows products.
While we understand your desire to activate Windows for better functionality, unfortunately members of the Answers community are not in a position to directly intervene in processes that involve private information, such as product activation processes that involve product key/product license information.
The information we can provide is limited to general guidance.
For example, you may probably be able to use the troubleshooting options if you have previously associated your Microsoft account, license information, and hardware in a virtual machine.
