Customer Ratings & Reviews

The fastest, easiest, and most powerful solution for running Windows applications on a Mac—without rebooting. Now includes Parallels Toolbox to easily perform essential tasks.

Being able to access Windows on my MAC has opened up a new world for me. Being able to combine my Window OS and Apple OS without changing PCs or laptops is a tremendous achievement. I should've done this a long time ago

The version is significantly better than an earlier version that I had purchased

I bought this for a program I needed be able to use in order to program a chip for my Q50S. Wasn't to thrilled a about putting windows on my new MacBook Pro, but now I am glad I have it! Haven't had any problems with it. Would buy it again.

Love the ability to switch from iOS on Mac to windows just in case you have no experience with Mac or some programs are incompatible with software

Parallels Desktop runs Windows 10 so well on your Mac it is just like having a second computer, a Windows 10 laptop. I am running Office 2016 Windows and there is no slowdown at all. Great!

Installed on an IMac running both IOS and Windows. Some legacy applications run better under windows. This provides a platform to allow a quick switch onto and off of each environment

I bought parallels to use on my Mac book pro for a class in college. I would recommend this for anyone with a Mac Book.

This is great software. Just make sure you don't get the annual subscription edition, unless that's what you want.

Only really viable option for having the best of both worlds without the need to reboot computer to change platforms. Keeps my software options open too.

I never thought that i will be able to use windows on my macbook along with ios, but parallel desktop has made it so easy to do so. I like it.

Bought a Mac and needed to support a windows application which was not natively supported on a Mac. With Parallels, I have no issues running the application. Only negative, which may not be entirely Parallel's fault, is the fact that I have to eat up 12GB of HD space to run windows...wish there was a way that Parallels allowed you do strip down your windows image to the bare essentials to save space.

I am pained with the requirement to use Windows with some of the software I have to use for work. Parallels makes this so much less painful.

Missing a few features compared to VMware fusion, but it's also cheaper. Works well.

I got this so I could put windows on my mac and still run certain programs made for windows

Very user friendly software, Very convenient to run windows on iOs. Easy to switch between both iOs. Runs without any problem.

I have not use it as much as others but there is some great uses for it.

Simply put, it does what it says it does. Pretty straight forward and easy to use.

I have been very impressed with Parallels Desktop 12 for MAC. It's great being able to access my PC software on my MAC.

Was much easier to install and use that older versions. Recommend
