ABOUT PARALLELS DESKTOP

Parallels Desktop is a powerful virtual desktop Mac application that enables users to run Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems and applications on their Mac with Intel or Apple silicon chips.

Parallels Desktop makes this possible through desktop virtualization, utilizing software technology to create a virtual machine.

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.
