Parallels Desktop Pro is the edition designed for developers, testers and IT professionals: it assigns the virtual machine far more memory and more processors than the Standard version and integrates with development tools. It runs Windows and Linux on a Mac with no reboot. The license is annual and is delivered by email with the activation code.

Why choose Parallels Desktop Pro per Mac

Anyone moving to a Mac brings a practical problem with them: some indispensable program only exists for Windows. Management systems, industry software, banking applications or professional practice tools often have no macOS version, and changing computer cannot mean giving them up. Parallels Desktop solves this by running Windows inside macOS, with no reboot and no need for two machines on the desk.

The difference from the Standard version lies in resources and tools. Anyone compiling code, testing an application across several systems or running server environments needs to give the virtual machine an amount of memory and processors that the Standard version does not allow, and to integrate it with the development tools they use every day.

What Parallels Desktop Pro per Mac is and what it is for

Parallels Desktop creates a virtual machine inside macOS running a complete operating system, usually Windows. On first launch the wizard offers to download and install Windows automatically, or to import an existing virtual machine or the data from an old PC.

The Pro edition adds integration with Visual Studio and command line tools for creating, starting and managing virtual machines in an automated way, useful in a testing workflow. All the Standard version's functions remain available: folder and peripheral sharing, Coherence mode and snapshots to return to a previous system state.

Key features

  • Windows on Mac with no reboot
    Windows runs in a window next to your macOS applications: you switch between them with a click, without shutting down the Mac.
  • Apple Silicon and Intel compatibility
    It works on Macs with M1, M2, M3 and M4 chips and on Intel ones, with the Windows version suited to the processor architecture.
  • Coherence mode
    Hides the Windows desktop and shows only the applications, which appear in the Dock as if they were Mac programs.
  • Sharing between the two systems
    Folders, clipboard, printers and USB peripherals are accessible from both systems: a file copied in macOS pastes into Windows.
  • Data transfer from a PC
    A wizard transfers documents, applications and settings from an old Windows PC to the Mac.
  • Virtual machine snapshots
    Save the system state before an update or a risky installation and go back within seconds if something goes wrong.
  • Resource assignment
    You decide how much memory and how many processors to give the virtual machine, balancing performance between the two systems.
  • Guided Windows installation
    On first launch the wizard offers to download and install Windows automatically, with no separate images or licenses to hunt for.
