![]() I tested Parallels with Windows 7 Professional, using the 64-bit edition purchased within Parallels Desktop, installed on a 2011 MacBook Pro (2.2GHz Core i7 with 4G of RAM). (Just to take one example: As I write this, you can buy a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate from Microsoft itself for about $220.) The built-in purchasing works, but there’s a high price to pay for its convenience factor. But despite that convenience, I’d recommend purchasing a copy of Windows either directly from Microsoft itself or from your favorite third-party vendor: you’ll likely save some money compared to the price you’ll pay in Parallels, and you may be eligible for a much-cheaper upgrade version. Once I got through this initial confusion, the actual Windows installation was quite straightforward and took only about 15 minutes. Parallels presently requires one license per computer, so if you use both a desktop and laptop Mac, for instance, you’ll need to buy two copies of the program. You must activate Parallels Desktop (by entering your serial number) the first time you run it. You choose to install the application wherever you like it doesn’t have to live in your Applications folder. Parallels installs quickly and requires no real intervention from you it even checks for updated versions during the installation process. Among the latter, there’s a simplified window for configuring virtual machines, support for Lion’s full screen mode, Launchpad integration, an in-app store for purchasing Windows and other programs, the ability to use iSight (and other) webcams within Windows clients, improved virtual printing, and more. Parallels Desktop 5, the program has acquired an updated interface along with a slew of performance improvements and new features. Parallels is available for a one-time fee of $99.99, but the Pro and Business editions require a $79.99 per year subscription.Parallels Desktop 7 is the latest release of Parallels’ virtualization program, which allows users to run Windows, Linux, and now even OS X Lion directly within Mac OS X. Parallels Desktop 16 was first released in August for Intel-based Macs, but has since been updated with a universal binary that's now ready for M1 Macs. Parallels is also amazed by the news from Microsoft about adding support of 圆4 applications in Windows on ARM. ![]() We switched Parallels Desktop to universal binary and optimized its virtualization code and the version that we are eager to try on these new MacBook Air, Mac mini and MacBook Pro 13″ looks very promising. Since WWDC, our new version of Parallels Desktop which runs on Mac with Apple M1 chip has made tremendous progress. When Apple Silicon Mac was first announced during the keynote at WWDC on June 22 of this year, Apple demoed a Parallels Desktop for Mac prototype running a Linux virtual machine flawlessly on Apple Silicon. The current versions of Parallels are not able to run on M1 Macs, but Parallels in November following the launch of the new Macs said that a version of Parallels compatible with Apple's chips was in active development.Īt the time, Parallels said that the software designed for Macs was looking "very promising." ![]() ARM32 applications do not work in a virtual machine. It is not possible to use the close button when a virtual machine is running Shutdown virtual machine instead.
