Parallels Desktop makes this possible through desktop virtualization, utilizing software technology to create a virtual machine (VM). This VM functions as a virtual PC within your Mac, allowing you to install and operate operating systems just as they would on a physical computer. If you enjoy using Parallels Desktop or have an idea you'd like to share with us, please leave a review. DISCLAIMER It is not recommended that existing Parallels Desktop on the Standard or Pro version users move to Parallels Desktop App Store Edition. Learn more: https://kb.parallels.com/en/123796.

    I hate that it's not free. :( I didn't choose to have a macbook, I would have very much prefered to have a regular pc that can run my games. I'm a student who can't spend money willy nilly, and 100 a year is a lot!!! I would have used boot camp, but the newest silicone doesnt allow it. Either way, Im not buying this product.

    If you own an M1 or M2 Mac and you have downloaded "apps" from the App Store, apps that were made for iPad or iPhone and you open and use those apps, then you already know the SMOOTH use of apps! It's unlike a software program, that lags and hangs.... Parallels runs Windows 11 on my Mac, better than my Windows laptop runs Windows 11! I feel so blessed to have found this app, as a Musician, and all around DAW recording engineer, I have fell in love with Apples DAW GarageBand and Logic Pro. Now with Parellels I will NEVER turn back. Any musician, sound developer, Engineer, or synth noodle-er should take a minute with this app. As a long time PC "Windows" user who LOVED Windows XP ... As many of us know, PC offers a TON of content. Especially in the form of VST's and VSTi's There is a ton of free .dll files not ALL are great but some older programs are invaluable in the "Recording World" plus there are a LOT of programs that cost $100 and $1000 that are now free... They still work amazing... but of course are no longer supported. I am BLOWN AWAY by the smooth transition between Windows and MAC OS... I mean I can literally be typing this review and click the Parellels icon in the tool tray and quicker than a half blink I am on windows and I can slide my finger down on my mouse pad and below the Windows task bar is my Mac Tray... there is no waiting there is no odd errors or spinning cursor its just ... its a Mac... its a Windows ...its a Mac... its a windows... I can Cut/Copy click the Parellels icon and paste whatever I cut/copied, and vise-versa! Plus there are so many other amazing things that MAC doesn't offer that widows does offer can be done without even a blink with this app! I SWEAR that my Windows programs run BETTER on my Mac with this app, than they do on my Widows system! Without a doubt WELL WORTH the few bucks a month! SO AMAZED by this God send in the form of .ipa file! lol! Thank you guys so much!

    The App it great and does not really need to much attention other than inner activity among MacOs features and screen readiness. Example when i downloaded the app and uninstalled it i keep getting unwanted chimes that i could not find anywhere on my laptop ( Macbook Air ) installled the app which was still running programs after deletion which is a problem that means access without data actually being stored. it leaves an opening in my system for unwanted attackers. please fix. if i delete it i want to make sure its fully deleted. other than that great app i since reinstalled because of the developments.
