Parallels virtualization software
Parallels Desktop 27 runs Windows in a virtual machine alongside macOS. Use Windows applications within a Mac workflow, choose Coherence mode or a full Windows desktop, and control access to shared documents.
Start with the applications and documents your work depends on. The virtualization software overview explains what to check when choosing a workflow.
Choose an edition around your work
The Desktop 27 product page covers everyday Windows applications, Standard and Pro editions, and license choices. Check the selected edition and license before relying on a particular tool. A Windows license is separate from the Parallels Desktop license.
