Parallels Desktop has moved to a subscription model, which means the Standard Edition costs $80 a year - while the Pro and Business versions are available for $100/year. Note that when a TPM is added to the virtual machine, Windows Secure Boot is automatically activated.įinally, Parallels Desktop 17.1 fixes many problems, in particular the one that prevented you from upgrading a Windows 10 VM to Windows 11 and graphical issues in several Windows games (World of Warcraft, Metal Gear Solid V, etc). For new Windows 10 VMs created on M1 Macs, a virtual TPM is added automatically.
You can switch easily between apps, regardless of which operating system they were written for, especially using Coherence.On Mac M1 equipped with Monterey, the management of Monterey virtual machines, which was very rudimentary, has been improved: you can copy and paste between the client and the host, and the default size of the virtual machine disk (VM) increased from 32 to 64 GB.Īccording to Parallels, Virtual TPM simplifies the creation of new installations of Windows 11 as well as system upgrades and updates. The close integration of both Windows OS and Mac OS provides users the best of both worlds. It is, however, more of a polished product than the other products. This then allows any Windows apps to seamlessly sit right on the Mac OS desktop.Ī great feature of Parallels that is worth noting, is when you run Windows 10 in Coherence mode, the Windows Action Centre is able to be viewed as a panel, which slides in from the right-hand side of the screen, next to the Notification panel in Mac OS X.Overall, Parallels is not the only virtualization option that is available for Mac OS X users who need to run Windows apps. Along with the existing buttons that close and minimise windows, Parallels has a new button, which allows you to switch a VM into Coherence mode, thereby hiding the Windows desktop. Parallels can modify the standard Mac OS X interface, and adds a new window control button for any VMs.
