Parallels Desktop 17 | Mac Intel

Whether you need to run Windows programs that aren’t available on the Mac version, or need to migrate your data when moving from PC to Mac, Parallels Desktop can help you solve these problems.

You can run Windows side by side with macOS (no restart required) on a MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini, or Mac Pro. Share files and folders, copy and paste text and images, and drag and drop files between Mac and Windows apps.

Parallels Desktop automatically detects what you need to get started, so setup takes minutes. If a Windows installation is required, the user will be prompted to download and install Windows 10 or select the currently installed version of Windows, Linux, Ubuntu, or Boot Camp.

Graphics and other resource-intensive Windows applications work without compromising the speed of the Mac system. Work in the most demanding graphics applications like Adobe Photoshop or Visual Studio or SketchUp without sacrificing performance.

In Coherence mode, the Windows interface will be hidden when using applications from that operating system. If you’re not used to working with a Mac, you can make the Windows window fill the entire screen, giving you the feel of a normal Windows computer.
