• Seamless
  Use Windows and macOS seamlessly in parallel (no reboot required) on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini or Mac Pro. Share files and folders, copy and paste images and text, and move files and content between Mac and Windows apps.
• Easy setup
  Parallels Desktop automatically detects what's needed so you can get started in minutes! If you need Windows, you'll be prompted to download and install Windows 11 or use your Boot Camp installation if you have an Intel-based Mac. You can also migrate your Windows PC* or use Linux, such as Ubuntu (Intel-based Mac computers only).
• Fast as lightning
  Graphically complex and demanding Windows applications run effortlessly and without slowing down your Mac. You can run applications like Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, SQL Server, PowerBI, AutoCAD, MetaTrader and thousands more. Play your Windows-only games on your Mac.
• Choose your view
  Make Windows invisible while still using Windows apps in Coherence mode. Or if the Mac is new to you, you can also set Windows to take up the entire screen so it looks just as if you were using a Windows PC.
