Failed to power on vmx

I transferred my virtual machines from one Mac host to another now none of them will power-up.

Was previously running Fusion 8, now I am on Fusion Pro 12.1

Error message is Failed to power on 'Path/vmname.vmx'

All suggestions welcome

I suspect you're on an M1 mac.  That's not supported yet.  There's a number of threads about it, but the net is that ARM guest support looks like it's coming.  Intel guest support is unlikely unless there's a real surprise.
