Parallels Desktop 18 Pro MacOS 1D/1Y (Global)

With Parallels Desktop, you can run your OS X and Windows operating systems on your Mac at the same time. Just like the previous version, Parallels Desktop for Mac also offers various virtualization features, such as full-screen mode or file transfer between your Apple computer and your Windows operating system for Mac. In addition, Parallels Desktop for Mac offers you many new features that provide optimal support when working on both systems at the same time.

Parallels Desktop can do it

Parallels Desktop for Mac allows you to use the required Windows programs easily and with full performance on your Mac. The resulting Windows operating system for Mac offers you all possible Windows functions and therefore works like a full-fledged Windows system. Thanks to Parallels Desktop, the virtualized Windows operating system for Mac is even faster than Windows installed directly. This is because Parallels Desktop for Mac provides many OS X components to the virtual Windows operating system for Mac, making it faster. This speeds up, for example, the startup process and the execution of various productivity programs, such as Office. With the new Parallels Desktop for Mac, developers have decided to optimize the transparent function of the Windows operating system for Mac under OS X.

What's new in Parallels Desktop for Mac

Parallels Desktop for Mac incorporates the innovations of the new Windows 10 and at the same time takes advantage of OS X Catalina. For example, Microsoft's voice assistant “Cortana” is one of the new highlights of Parallels Desktop. Thanks to Parallels Desktop for Mac, even these functions can be called up even if the Windows operating system for Mac is only running in the background. The following new features await you in the new Parallels Desktop:

• Use the Microsoft Cortana voice assistant on Mac as well
• Quick preview available in Windows
• Force touch gestures on new Macs are now supported
• Recently used data is now displayed regardless of storage location
• Printing with support for all Mac printing options
• Mac location service availability for Windows applications
• Volume settings between Mac and virtual machine are automatically synchronized

In addition, Mac Windows controls, such as Coherence mode, have been optimized in Parallels Desktop for Mac. This option allows you to run Windows programs directly from your Mac interface.

Parallels Desktop optimized for performance

For the developers of Parallels Desktop for Mac, it's not just important to run a Windows operating system on your Mac. Another important concern for developers is to offer you this capability without compromising performance. For this reason, various precautions have been taken in the new Parallels Desktop to further optimize speed and battery life. To extend battery life, for example, Parallels Desktop disables power-consuming resources, especially in travel mode. System startup and shutdown speeds have been up to 50% faster, and data operations have been up to 20% faster.

With Parallels Desktop, enjoy Windows and Mac on a single device and work more productively than ever before.
